Document Summary

Skroch& lopez-hoffman serving nature under the big tent of ecosystem services: markets and payments for ecosystem services only small part of actual values. Increased emphasis economic value ecosystems should benefit conservation efforts: concern about artificial engineering services, property rights problems and equal access, spatial incongruence ecosystem services and biodiversity, ecosystem services as effective tool but no inherent biodiversity protection. Raw materials: water (h2o) and carbon dioxide (carbon and oxygen) + sunlight. Products of photosynthesis: glucose (c6h12o6) and oxygen (o2) Glucose is used or stored as energy and oxygen is released. Xylem: means of transportation in the plant. Stomata: pores in leaves are responsible for the exchange of gases. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast in the presence of light. Greek: photo = light and synthesis = combining. Underwater photosynthesis is slower, because light is absorbed by the water and only some amount actually reaches the plant.
