1. Ecosystem services

   Humankind benefits in a multitude of ways from ecosystems. Collectively, these benefits are known as ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are regularly involved in the provisioning of clean drinking water and the decomposition of wastes. While scientists and environmentalists have discussed ecosystem services implicitly for decades, the ecosystem services concept itself was popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in the early 2000s. This grouped ecosystem services into four broad categories: provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and crop pollination; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits. To help inform decision-makers, many ecosystem services are being assigned economic values.

Examples of ecosystem services in a Sentence

   What those numbers do not tell us is the quality of the trees that were removed, the numbers are nuanced, and you don't know what type of forest and they are not all the same. The older forests with bigger trees tend to have more diversity, they provide more ecosystem services like storing and cleaning water, cooling the air. So it is a big deal.

2. Rob Slater:

   I understand that we need to make space for the growing population coming to our cities but people need to realize we need natural areas in order to survive, whether it's aesthetic or not, natural areas provide ecosystem services that people don't actually see. Often it can feel a little bit like a losing battle. People do appreciate it but I think we need to create awareness and educate people that we need the environment to live.
