Marine ecosystem services [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Coastal and marine environments can begin up to 100 kilometers inland, extend to the continental shelf, and include ocean systems with waters up to 50 meters in depth. The distinct marine ecosystems found in these environments include estuarine and coastal wetlands, such as marshes and mangroves, sand beaches and dunes, seagrass beds, and coral and ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, a magnetic core‐shell catalyst (HOF‐on‐Fe3O4/ZIF‐67) is successfully synthesized, consisting of a metal–organic framework (ZIF‐67) with magnetic Fe3O4 as the core and a porous hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) as the shell. The catalyst efficiently activated peroxymonosulfate, resulting in rapid and effective removal of water ...

, 2019 Ecosystem services evaluation refers to the quantification of the benefits that Nature provides to people. It includes a series of evaluation methods largely derived from environmental economics techniques. These methods allow consideration of the role of the environment for society and the economy, in terms of direct and indirect uses, as well as in ...
