Ecosystem Services and Factors

The video tutorial provides a recap of previous lessons on ecosystems, focusing on biotic and abiotic components. It emphasizes human reliance on ecosystems and introduces the concept of ecosystem services. Students are instructed to research eco scenarios using provided resources, with the goal of understanding and solving ecosystem-related problems. The tutorial concludes with guidance on research tasks and exit ticket requirements.
