structural or functional properties 41 none of these is the best classification ecosystem classifications are specific kinds of ecological classifications that consider all four elements of the definition of ecosystems a biotic component an abiotic complex the interactions between and within them and the physical space they occupy 41 different approaches to ecological classifications have been developed in terrestrial freshwater and marine disciplines and a function based typology has been proposed to leverage the strengths of these different approaches into a unified system 42 human interactions with ecosystems human activities are important in almost all ecosystems although humans exist and operate within ecosystems their cumulative effects are large enough to influence external factors like climate 4 14 ecosystem goods and services the high peaks wilderness area in the 6 000 000 acre 2 400 000 ha adirondack park is an example of a diverse ecosystem main articles ecosystem services and ecological goods and services see also ecosystem valuation and ecological yield ecosystems provide a variety of goods and services upon which people depend 43 ecosystem goods include the tangible material products of ecosystem processes such as water food fuel construction material and medicinal plants 44 45 they also include less tangible items like tourism and recreation and genes from wild plants and animals that can be used to improve domestic species 43 ecosystem services on the other hand are generally improvements in the condition or location of things of value 45 these include things like the maintenance of hydrological cycles cleaning air and water the maintenance of oxygen in the atmosphere crop pollination and even things like beauty inspiration and opportunities for research 43 while material from the ecosystem had traditionally been recognized as being the basis for things of economic value ecosystem services tend to be taken for granted 45 the millennium ecosystem assessment is an international synthesis by over 1000 of the world s leading biological scientists that analyzes the state of the earth s ecosystems and provides summaries and guidelines for decision makers the report identified four major categories of ecosystem services provisioning regulating cultural and supporting services 46 it concludes that human activity is having a significant and escalating impact on the biodiversity of the world ecosystems reducing both their resilience and biocapacity the report refers to natural systems as humanity s life support system providing essential ecosystem services the assessment measures 24 ecosystem services and concludes that only four have shown improvement over the last 50 years 15 are in serious decline and five are in a precarious condition 46 6 19 the intergovernmental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services ipbes is an intergovernmental organization established to improve the interface between science and policy on issues of biodiversity and ecosystem services 47 48 it is intended to serve a similar role to the intergovernmental panel on climate change 49 ecosystem services are limited and also threatened by human activities 50 to help inform decision makers many ecosystem services are being assigned economic values often based on the cost of replacement with anthropogenic alternatives the ongoing challenge of prescribing economic value to nature for example through biodiversity banking is prompting transdisciplinary shifts in how we recognize and manage the environment social responsibility business opportunities and our future as a species 50 degradation and decline see also ecosystem collapse biodiversity loss and effects of climate change on biomes as human population and per capita consumption grow so do the resource demands imposed on ecosystems and the effects of the human ecological footprint natural resources are vulnerable and limited the environmental impacts of anthropogenic actions are becoming more apparent problems for all ecosystems include environmental pollution climate change and biodiversity loss for terrestrial ecosystems further threats include air pollution soil degradation and deforestation for aquatic ecosystems threats also include unsustainable exploitation of marine resources for example overfishing marine pollution microplastics pollution the effects of climate change on oceans e g warming and acidification and building on coastal areas 51 many ecosystems become degraded through human impacts such as soil loss air and water pollution habitat fragmentation water diversion fire suppression and introduced species and invasive species 52 437 these threats can lead to abrupt transformation of the ecosystem or to gradual disruption of biotic processes and degradation of abiotic conditions of the ecosystem once the original ecosystem has lost its defining features it is considered collapsed see also iucn red list of ecosystems 53 ecosystem collapse could be reversible and in this way differs from species extinction 54 quantitative assessments of the risk of collapse are used as measures of conservation status and trends management main articles ecosystem management ecosystem based management and ecosystem approach when natural resource management is applied to whole ecosystems rather than single species it is termed ecosystem management 55 although definitions of ecosystem management abound there is a common set of principles which underlie these definitions a fundamental principle is the long term sustainability of the production of goods and services by the ecosystem 52 intergenerational sustainability is a precondition for management not an afterthought 43 while ecosystem management can be used as part of a plan for wilderness conservation it can also be used in intensively managed ecosystems 43 see for example agroecosystem and close to nature forestry restoration and sustainable development see also restoration ecology integrated conservation and development projects icdps aim to address conservation and human livelihood sustainable development
