Ecosystem services planting area settlements

Ecosystem services - all this the fact that the person receives or can receive from the environment. Even the comprehension of this concept is problematic since everything that is received by us in a varying degree is only part of nature, its derivants. It turned out that to appreciate purity of waters, air, soils and a biodiversity we became only when over them direct threat of degradation and destruction hung. By method of systems analysis of long-term experience of field works on studying the settlements plot of land as the natural or quasinatural making author made the list of the ecosystem services which are carried out by plantings of the planted trees and shrubs territories. The animal component of these territories is also important, but within this article is not considered, though cannot but be considered a priori. As a result, 8 services and 36 functions are allocated. Environment-formation - the basis of providing a life. Global Services represented 6 functions (oxygen production, primary production, maintenance cycles, etc.), Resource - 5 (food, fuel, genetic, etc.), Ecological - 7 (impact on thermal, radiation treatment, education winds, etc.), Sanitary - 5 (soil-saving, noise protection, etc.), Medical and social - 6 (antibacterial, recreation and etc.), Scientific and educational - 3 (bioindicator and etc.), Decorative and planning - 3 (structural and planning and etc.). The UN, WWF, Greenpeace and other authoritative organizations indicate the need carrying out continuous work on an assessment of ecosystem services and to involvement in this work of the population, especially wide range. Such intentions and works will allow people to increase comprehension of a role of wildlife in safety and quality lives.
