2 Ecosystems and Their Services

2 Ecosystems and Their Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An ecosystem is a dynamic complex of plant, animal, and microorganism com- munities and the nonliving environment, interacting as a functional unit. Hu-mans are an integral part of ecosystems. A well-defined ecosystem has strong interactions among its components and weak interactions across its boundaries.

UNIT 3: Ecosystems - UGC

Some ecosystems are fairly robust and are less affected by a certain level of human disturbance. Others are highly fragile and are quickly de-stroyed by human activities. Mountain ecosys-tems are extremely fragile as degradation of forest cover leads to severe erosion of soil and changes in river courses. Island ecosystems are

changes in biodiversity can influence the supply of ecosystem services. People seek many services from ecosystems and thus perceive the condition of an ecosystem in relation to its ability to provide desired services. The ability of ecosystems to deliver services can be assessed by a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods.

Eutrophication: Causes, Consequences, and Controls in ...

Eutrophication is also associated with major changes in aquatic community structure. During cyanobacterial blooms, small-bodied zooplankton tend to dominate plankton communities, and past observational studies have attributed this pattern to anti-herbivore traits of cyanobacteria (e.g., toxicity, morphology, and poor food quality) (Porter 1977).
