1. Ecosystem Services Examples:
Ecosystem Services: processes by which the environment produces resources.
These services are extensive and diverse … affecting the quality of our land, water, food, and health.
Ecosystems are nature’s support systems for life.
Nature’s services have financial value.
Examples:
moderate weather extremes and their impacts, disperse seeds, mitigate drought and floods, protect people from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, cycle and move nutrients, protect stream and river channels and coastal shores from erosion, detoxify and decompose wastes, control agricultural pests, maintain biodiversity, generate and preserve soils and renew their fertility, contribute to climate stability, purify the air and water, regulate disease carrying organisms, pollinate crops and natural vegetation

2. Compromising Eco-Services
Reduced Biodiversity
Reduced Carrying Capacity

3. Biodiversity

4. Carrying Capacity
The maximum number of individuals in a population that can be supported by their ecosystem
Can be regulated by available space, food sources, water, sunlight, environmental conditions, pollution, etc
