Regulating Services
Regulation Services include:
- carbon sequestration and climate regulation
- waste decomposition and detoxification
- purification of water and air
- pest and disease control
- pollination
Let's look at 2 examples: pollination and carbon sequestration.
Pollination
Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male part of a plant to a female part of a plant. This is how flowering plants reproduce.
Carbon Sequestration
Carbon sequestration sounds difficult to understand, but it is really simple. The basic idea is that carbon in the atmosphere can be taken out of the atmosphere by plants, soil, and rocks and stored in them for a really long time. This is a very important regulating service as climate change continues. The cycling of carbon in and out of the atmosphere is called the "carbon cycle."
