A forest provides multiple ecosystem services. Identify and describe five of these services. (Hint: Some can be found in this chapter, but you may need to do a quick Internet search.)
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary and should reflect a variety of the four categories of ecosystem services. Below are examples:
Provisioning services: food, fuelwood, fiber, and forest wood (material) products
Regulating services: climate regulation, water purification
Supporting services: soil formation, nutrient cycling, and primary production (forests do all of these)
Cultural services: all seven of the cultural services identified in Figure 7.6 are provided by forests.
