What kind of services do ecological systems provide




















Wetland plants absorb nutrients and chemicals from the water, and they act as a natural filtration system. Wetland plants and soils store large amounts of carbon that, if released, would contribute to climate change.

Wetlands are also a vital habitat for migratory birds , fish , and mammals , and their loss impacts recreation and biodiversity. Adams, J. Kutner and B. Stein, ed.

The National Wildlife Federation. Ecosystem Services. Four Types of Ecosystem Services The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment MA , a major UN-sponsored effort to analyze the impact of human actions on ecosystems and human well-being, identified four major categories of ecosystem services: provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting services.

Our approach clarifies sense of place constructs to deepen the understanding of the human variables that constrain or enable stewardship and transformative capacity. Specifically, these human value domains include the effect of cognition, emotion, and attitude on behavior. We also see promising engagement with sense of place concepts in studies of how people respond to change.

A more systematic engagement with the subdimensions of attachment identity and dependence and meaning, as well as the use of instruments to assess these, will continue to improve the clarity, increase comparability, and further resolve discrepancies in findings. Crucially, we also propose that these tools may be usefully engaged in other research topics within SES: We offer these topics as a starting point where initial thinking has already occurred.

Our approach emphasizes place meanings as a key element of sense of place, complementing place attachment in predicting behavioral intent. By focusing on the meanings to which people are attached, we move beyond a normative view of sense of place as always positive for sustainability outcomes. We show that although values and cognitions are subjectively held and vary within a population and among characteristics of a place, this variation is systematic and can therefore be measured.

With tools to identify how sense of place covaries with other system variables, our approach provides a way to assess how relation to place influences adaptive capacity, collaboration, and priorities for stewardship of SES.

Sustainability is about defining and working toward creating a tenable place for humanity to live. One of the major challenges and opportunities is to develop integrated methods and indicators that could make these phenomena more tangible and measurable without neglecting the subjective, qualitative nature of sense of place.

This, in turn, has direct implications for management of both small and vast SES that provide our home as humankind.

Ecology and Society 15 4 Colding, and F. The book ' Silent Spring ' triggered an environmental movement and as such we have known the toxic effects of chemical agriculture, basically from the very beginning.

In the late s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. However, most current major environmental statutes, such as the federal statutes listed above, were passed in the time spanning the late s through the early s. Prior to the passage of these statutes, most federal environmental laws were not nearly as comprehensive.

Capitalism is the world's greatest economic success story. It is the most effective way to provide for the needs of people and foster the democratic and moral values of a free society. Two examples of mixed economies are the U. According to some classical Marxist and some social evolutionary theories, post- capitalist societies may come about as a result of spontaneous evolution as capitalism becomes obsolete. Others propose models to intentionally replace capitalism.

The most notable among them are socialism and anarchism. In order to meet the needs of its people, every society must answer three basic economic questions: What should we produce?

How should we produce it? For whom should we produce it? There are four different types of economies ; a traditional economy , a market economy , command economy , and a mixed economy. Each type of economy has its own strengths and weaknesses. Command Economic System. Market Economic System.

Mixed Economic System. List of the Advantages of the Mixed Economy A mixed economy distributes goods and services to where they need to be.

Supply and demand get measured through pricing instead of regulation. A mixed economy improves production efficiency. Mixed economies promote control equality. The definition of a market economy is one in which price and production is controlled by buyers and sellers freely conducting business.

An example of a market economy is the United States economy where the investment and production decisions are based on supply and demand.

Economists generally recognize three distinct types of economic system. These are 1 command economies ; 2 market economies and 3 traditional economies.
