How can environmental science help solve crime cases and what areas of forensics does it relate to?
Forensic scientists do NOT test the DNA of plants! That’s just something that CSI made up. You could determine that it was the same species of plant (by morphology, etc.) but that is as far as you would go with that.
I would say toxicology most. There is an entire area of forensic environmental toxicology in which people study the toxins that are put into the environment in industry.
Soil comparisons too. This is a huge part of trace chemistry.
I’m sure that there are more areas that it relates, but it’s the only things I can think of off the top of my head.

I remember from the TV a case the police solved due to the DNA of some seeds they found in a car. The DNA was identical to a plant near the body of the victim.

say for instance, that a murder suspect had plant particles from a crime scene on his clothes, and the victim had the same plants in his house. this would help to place the suspect at the scene.
