Value of an Ecosystem
Instrumental• Cultural services:
– The knowledge we gain• Provisions
– pharmaceuticals• Regulating Services
– Act as filters of Carbon dioxide
• Support Systems– Pollination– Filter water
Intrinsic• Value independent of any
benefit to humans.

List some things that could cause disturbances in an ecosystem.
• Hurricanes• Ice storms• Volcanoes• Forest fires• Agriculture• Deforestation• Air pollution• surface mining

Resistance vs. Resilience
Resistance• The measure of how much a
disturbance can affect the flows of matter and energy in an ecosystem
Resilience • An ecosystem’s ability to
return to its original state.

The intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis
States ecosystems experiencing intermediate levels of disturbance are more diverse than those with high or low disturbance levels.

Now draw your own on the back of the paper…
• Include the labels– Primary succession or secondary succession– Pioneer species– Intermediate species– Climax community
