Notes:

Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System
Native (or indigenous) plants are those that grow naturally in an area, or that have been in an area for many years. Native plants require less water, fertilizer, and pest control. These plants can be trees, shrubs, flowers, or grasses. Adaptive plants are non-native plants that perform well in the local climate. Native and adaptive plants require less water, and are more disease resistant because they are suited to the region\'s usual rainfall, soil, and temperature.

Native plants help with both protecting and restoring local ecosystems and habitat.
Native plants are not a building material, so using sustainable materials would not be a correct choice.

Native plants don\'t necessarily perform any better at reducing stormwater quantity. A stormwater management plan that included vegetated areas would help, but the plants could be either native or non native and still do the job.

Native plants and construction waste management are unrelated.
