This volume presents a snapshot of the health and prospects for each of the main services that ecosystems provide, including food, water, timber, and fuel; climate regulation; disease prevention; and others. "The Synthesis Report" will prove ideal for students and laypersons interested in a quick, but nuanced understanding of the state of the Earth's ecosystems.
