The phrase that best describes the ecosystem services that the apple tree provides for you and your mom is "indirect services and direct services."
Indirect services refer to the benefits that the tree provides indirectly, such as the shade it provides for you to read under. This shade is an indirect service because it enhances your reading experience and enjoyment.
Direct services refer to the benefits that the tree provides directly, such as the apples that your mom uses to make pies. These apples are a direct service because they are directly consumed by your mom.
Therefore, the apple tree provides both indirect services (shade for reading) and direct services (apples for making pies) to you and your mom.
