Ecology
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and all kinds of fruit trees that bear fruit containing their seed.” And so it was. The earth brought forth vegetation, every kind of seed-bearing plant and all kinds of trees that bear fruit containing their seed. God saw that it was good. And there was evening and morning, the third day.
Genesis 1:11-13
