Food production is a provisioning service, not a regulating service.

Climate regulation contributes to maintaining biodiversity in multiple ways, including stabilizing temperatures, creating diverse microclimates, and influencing species distribution.

Forests filter pollutants from the air and soil, helping to improve water quality.

Air quality regulation by ecosystems provides multiple benefits to biodiversity, including reducing respiratory diseases, improving ecosystem health, and supporting sensitive plant species.

The loss of regulating services typically leads to negative consequences, such as increased natural disasters, reduced water availability, and loss of biodiversity. Increased agricultural productivity is not a direct consequence of the loss of regulating services.

Regulating services play a crucial role in supporting sustainable agriculture by providing natural pest control, improving soil fertility and water retention, and regulating pollination and seed dispersal.

The conservation of regulating services contributes to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing carbon sequestration, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) explicitly recognizes the importance of regulating services in maintaining biodiversity and promotes their conservation and sustainable use.

Climate regulation refers to the processes by which ecosystems influence and stabilize the Earth's climate.

Wetlands provide multiple regulating services, including flood control, water filtration, and carbon sequestration.

The loss of regulating services has various negative impacts on human well-being, including increased risk of natural disasters, reduced access to clean water and air, and undermined food security.

Increasing the use of fossil fuels is not a strategy for conserving regulating services, as it contributes to climate change and air pollution.

Water regulation refers to the processes by which ecosystems influence and manage the flow and quality of water.

Regulating services contribute to ecosystem resilience by helping ecosystems adapt to environmental changes, reducing the impact of natural disasters, and enhancing their ability to recover from disturbances.
