service-rendering plant / service plant Explanation: NOT MY FIELD LOW CONFIDENCE Low number of matches in searches for "service plant", about 500. Wikipedia, from where the quotation above is taken, does not offer a link to an English-language article. The FAO does not appear to have a term in English. Going on this definition rapport plante de service V4 - Montpellier SupAgrowww.supagro.fr › fondation › wa_files › Rapport_L_SI... Résumé. ***Le terme plante de service (PS) désigne les espèces implantées dans le but de « rendre un service »*** and the quotation in the question, I suggest the term "service-providing plant". One good example of usage here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095937801... A respected source. Last paragraph of section 2.7: "In summary, examples of complex forest management practices to enhance diversity and distribution of ***service-providing plant species***, to enhance soil quality and productivity, and topographical engineering to maximise ES, documented over many decades and across vast regions of the Amazon rainforest, provide robust evidence of the significant role of humans in modifying the Amazon to enhance the services it provides." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2021-03-05 13:27:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, the text I posted uses the term "service-providing plant" -- THAT IS my answer! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2021-03-05 13:29:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Anybody who can construct a sentence like that one has my respect!!! |
