Ecosystem assessment
Ecosystem assessment is the process of evaluating the health and functionality of natural environments, focusing on the relationships between living organisms and their surroundings. It involves collecting data on biodiversity, water quality, soil health, and other elements to understand how ecosystems are performing. This assessment helps identify changes or threats, such as pollution or climate change, that may affect the balance of these environments. By understanding these dynamics, we can make informed decisions to protect and manage ecosystems for sustainability and the well-being of both nature and human communities.
