Answer to Question 1

Ecosystem capital includes the goods and services produced by the species within an ecosystem and the interactions between the biotic and abiotic portions of ecosystems. Ecosystems, and biota in them, are expected to produce something of economic value. Within this context, natural resources are only those items in an ecosystem that have a monetary value. Ecosystem capital does not require that a monetary value is known or exists. All that matters with ecosystem capital is that there is ecological value.

Answer to Question 2

Some examples may include: food, water, erosion control, climate regulation, recreation, aesthetic value, timber, fuel, food and disease regulation, medicine, nutrient cycling, pest regulation, air quality regulation, education, and waste processing.
