Examples include water and air quality regulation, nutrient cycling and decomposition, plant pollination and flood control, all of which are dependent on biodiversity. They are predominantly public goods with limited or no markets and do not command any price in the conventional economic system, so their loss is often not detected and continues unaddressed and unabated. This in turn not only impacts human well-being, but also seriously undermines the sustainability of the economic system.It is against this background TEEB - The Economics of Ecosystems and BiodiversityEcologyEconomic aspectsEcosystem servicesBiodiversityEconomic aspectsEnvironmental economicsElectronic books.EcologyEconomic aspects.Ecosystem services.BiodiversityEconomic aspects.Environmental economics.333.95Kumar Pushpam901951Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Project)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458881403321The economics of ecosystems and biodiversity2016428UNINA
