Summary Introduction
To determine:
The term “ecosystem services”, enlist some important ecosystem services.
Concept introduction:
Ecosystem services means “the benefit people take from ecosystem” ecosystem service is composed of four things: supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural services. Supporting services include nutrient recycling and soil formation; provisioning services include raw materials, food, energy, medicinal source. The regulating services include climate regulation purification of water; cultural services include recreational experiences spiritual and historical use of nature.
