Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem services are the benefits that nature provides to human well-being, such as clean air, water, food, and recreation. They bestow the life sustaining capacity to the planet, and contribute to the total economic value. Ecosystem services accrue out of the exchange of matter and energy that takes place between physical and biological elements of natural ecosystems. This exchange is what leads to primary food production, the hydrological cycle, the carbon cycle, soil creation, seed germination, carbon sequestration, and others.
