Description
The Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems (PAGE) provides a "big picture" view of ecosystems using indicators and maps at global and continental scales. PAGE assessed five of the world?s major ecosystem types: agroecosystems, forest ecosystems, freshwater systems, grassland ecosystems, and coastal and marine ecosystems. The PAGE study evaluated the state of ecosystems by examining the condition of a range of goods and services these ecosystems produce, including:
- Food and fiber production
- Provision of pure and sufficient water
- Maintenance of biodiversity
- Storage of atmospheric carbon
- Provision of recreation and tourism opportunities
