Benefits that are obtained from the regulation of ecosystems.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  •  Air quality maintenance<\/strong> – ecosystems both contribute chemicals to and extract chemicals from the atmosphere, influencing many aspects of air quality.<\/li>
  • Climate regulation<\/strong> – ecosystems influence climate both locally and globally. At a local scale, changes in land cover can affect both temperature and precipitation. At the global scale, ecosystems play an important role in climate by either sequestering or emitting greenhouse gases.<\/li>
  • Water regulation<\/strong> – the timing and magnitude of runoff, flooding, and aquifer recharge can be strongly influenced by changes in land cover.<\/li>
  • Erosion control<\/strong> – vegetation cover plays an important role in soil retention and the prevention of landslides.<\/li>
  • Water purification and waste treatment<\/strong> – ecosystems can be a source of impurities in fresh water but also can help to filter out and decompose organic wastes introduced into inland waters and coastal and marine ecosystems.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    • Regulation of human diseases<\/strong> – changes in ecosystems can directly change the abundance of human pathogens, such as cholera, and can alter the abundance of disease vectors, such as mosquitoes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      • Biological control<\/strong> – ecosystem changes affect the prevalence of crop and livestock pests and diseases.<\/li>
      • Pollination<\/strong> – ecosystem changes affect the distribution, abundance, and effectiveness of pollinators.<\/li>
      • Storm protection<\/strong> – the presence of coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests and wetlands can dramatically reduce the damage caused by hurricanes or storm surges.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":3067,"menu_order":20,"template":"","class_list":["post-4019","knowledge-article","type-knowledge-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nRegulating services - EcoShape<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/en\/knowledge-articles\/ecosystem-services-2\/regulating-services\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Regulating services\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\" Air quality maintenance – ecosystems both contribute chemicals to and extract chemicals from the atmosphere, influencing many aspects of air quality.
