Explanation:

• Biological augmentation: It involves introducing organisms (like plants in this case) to control a native plant population. For example, introducing a plant species that competes with an over - abundant native plant for resources.
• Bioremediation: This process uses plants (or other organisms) to absorb harmful compounds. Plants can take up heavy metals or other pollutants from the soil or water.
• Reforestation: It aims to increase biodiversity and food resources by replanting trees (or other plants in a forest - like setting). Trees provide habitat for many species and can also be a source of food (e.g., nuts from some tree species).

Answer:

• using plants to control a native plant population → biological augmentation
• using plants to absorb harmful compounds → bioremediation
• using plants to increase biodiversity and food resources → reforestation
