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 410 0$aTEEB - The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity 606 $aEcology$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEcosystem services 606 $aBiodiversity$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEnvironmental economics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEcology$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEcosystem services. 615 0$aBiodiversity$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 676 $a333.95 701 $aKumar$b Pushpam$0901951 712 02$aEconomics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Project) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458881403321 996 $aThe economics of ecosystems and biodiversity$92016428 997 $aUNINA
