Relationships!

SYMBIOSIS!
The Mesquite Tree has 2 symbiotic relationships I found. The relationship it has with Fungae Hyphae, which assists the tree with Nitrogen Fixation, and with the sparrow, which uses the tree for a home and protection and in return eats insects that may harm the tree.

The relationship it holds with humans is just as simple. The tree is not endangered, in fact it is considered a weed because it sucks up water and other nutrients, not allowing other plants to survive. Actually in Texas they are trying to kill it off!
