BIOS10112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Revealed Preference, Carbon Sink, Ecosystem Services
Document Summary
We are in exactly the same place that we were in 2000. Nurseries protect the fish that we are going to end up eating. Oxygen algae in the ocean produce oxygen: provisioning= things that provide basic stuff that we actually take out of the ocean and use in some way. Minerals that we mine from the bottom of the ocean. Pearls: regulating= things that bring the environment that we live in back into a certain balance keeping the habitat within certain boundaries. Carbon dioxide sink absorbs a third of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: cultural= things that ecosystems provide that are of cultural value. Relaxation: problems unknown impacts on ecosystem services: Example= use of cfcs had no idea that we were polluting the environment and burning a hole in the ozone layer: global environmental problem all countries came together.
