Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Verdwene ekostelseldienste en kwynende ekologiese rolle.
Woud-ekostelsels in die trope en subtrope word teen 'n hoë tempo vervang deur landbougewasse en -plantasies. Dit verskaf groot hoeveelhede produkte vir nasionale en internasionale markte, maar lei tot die verlies van belangrike ekostelseldienste wat deur ekologiese prosesse bemiddel word. In Borneo word die Dypterocarpus-woud, een van die spesierykstes ter wêreld (F), deur oliepalmplantasies (G) vervang. Hierdie veranderinge is vir alle praktiese doeleindes onomkeerbaar (H). English: Lost Ecosystem Services and Vanishing Ecological Roles. Forest ecosystems in the tropics and subtropics are being quickly replaced by industrial crops and plantations. This provides large amounts of goods for national and international markets, but results in the loss of crucial ecosystem services mediated by ecological processes. In Borneo, the Dypterocarp forest, one of the species-richest in the world (F), is being replaced by oil palm plantations (G). These changes are irreversible for all practical purposes (H). |
