+- **Cultural Services**
+ - Benefits relating to our enjoyment of the environment.
+ - Ex. Recreational, aesthetic and spiritual experiences when we interact with natural surroundings.
+ - Ecotourism: tourists engage in environmentally responsible travel to relatively undisturbed natural areas.
+ - Ex. Canada’s Wilderness.
+- **Ecosystem Products**
+ - Humans use products produced by the ecosystem.
+ - Hunt animals and harvest plants, lakes/oceans supply us with seafood.
+ - **Terrestrial:** ecosystems: medicines, fibres, rubber and dyes.
+ - **Forestry**: largest industries and employers.
+
+- Regulate and maintain important abiotic and biotic features of environment.
+ - Cycle water, oxygen, and nutrients.
+- Help protect us from physical threats.
+ - Plant communities protect the soil from wind and water erosion.
+- Ecosystems act as sponges.
+ - Absorb water and slowly release it into the groundwater and surface water (reduces erosion and protects against flooding, filters the water).
+- Protect land from storms along coasts where wave damage erodes the shoreline.
+ - Mangroves
+
+### Monetary Value of Ecosystem Services
+
+- Very difficult to put a dollar value to it.
+- Dollar value of cleaning the air/water, moderating climate and providing paper fibre, medicines and other products is HIGH.
+- Ranges into the trillions of dollars/year (maybe 60 trillion?).
+- Provides valuable services that are free and renewable.
+
+
+## Successions
+- Natural ecosystems are in a state of equilibrium (their biotic and abiotic features remain relatively constant over time).
+- Equilibrium is established when abiotic conditions are stable.
+ - Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are balanced.
+ - Populations are healthy and stable.
+- Small ecosystems are in a constant state of change.
+ - Forest fire or disease outbreak can cause short-term changes on a local level.

+ - #### Primary
+ - on newly epxposed ground, such asa following a volcanic eruption.
+ - #### Secondary
+ - in a partially distrubed ecosystem, such as following a forest fire.
+ - Human caused disturbances.

+- Provides a mechanism by which ecosystems maintain their long term sustainability.
+- Allows ecosystems to recover from natural or human caused disturbances.
+- Offers hope (New Orleans, New Jersey, Florida, Puerto Rico).

+- Population falls below critical level = ecological niche can no longer be filled.
+- Consequences for abiotic and biotic features.
+- **Extirpated**: no longer exists in a specific area.
