These functions now have an appreciative audience for what are processes have been modified, sometimes dramatically, for thousands of years (Krech 1999). More recently, the termed ecological services. This is now playing a major role in tying the science of ecology to economic concerns and past few hundred years have shown an escalating rate of change of our living environment (Whitney 1994).
