Classification Of Importance Of Ecosystem Service Function In this paper we identify two main challenges with current ecosystem services classification systems: i) the inconsistency across concepts, terminology and definitions, and; ii) the mix up of processes and end state benefits, or flows and assets. The classification system explicitly links values with ecosystem services, ecosystem processes and natural and socio cultural assets. values describe important aspects of human well being, and thus should assist those charged with communicating the importance of natural resources.

Ecosystem Service Importance And Ecological Sources Screening A 1. should the classifications include both biotic and abiotic outputs from ecosystems? ices are seen as outputs that are fundamentally dependent on living processes. this is an important point to note, and reflects the fact that in each initiative the concept of ecosystem. The ecosystem functions, in the context of the cascade model, are understood as the characteristics or behaviours of the ecosystem that underpins its capacity to deliver an ecosystem service (e.g. ability of the woodland or grassland to generate a standing stock of biomass). In relation to issue 8, it is noted that: (i) ecosystem services can be defined broadly as the functions of ecosystems that provide benefits to human well being and arise from the interaction of. The importance assessment and classification of ecosystem services in giant panda national parks has an important guiding role in the protection of giant panda national park ecosystems.

In 1970, scep first introduced the concept of “environmental services” in “man's impact on the global environment” and classified its functions into four categories: climate regulation, material cycling, pest control, and insect pollination (scep, 1970). Key definitions that need to be agreed include those for ‘ecosystem services’, ‘ecosystem function’ ‘benefits’ and ‘well‐being’ – as well as the service categories like ‘provisioning’, ‘regulating’ and ‘cultural’. We discuss several examples of how classification schemes will bea function of both ecosystem and ecosystem service characteristics and the decision making millennium assessment. context. 2008 elsevier b.v. all rights reserved. 1. introduction. ecosystem services research has become an important area of investigation over the past decade. The concept underpins four major discussions: (1) academic: the ecological versus the economic dimensions of the goods and services that flow from ecosystems to the human economy; the challenge of integrating concepts and models across this paradigmatic divide; (2) social: the risks versus benefits of bringing the utilitarian argument into polit.
