Vascular plants are essential components of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, where they are the primary producers. In addition, plants provide shelter and support for insects, fish, birds, amphibians, and mammals for all or part of their life cycles. Other functions include stabilization of soil and sediment and participation in nutrient cycles.
