Regulating services are the benefits people obtain due to the regulation of natural processes and the control or modification of biotic and abiotic factors (see also de Groot et al. 2002; Fu et al. 2011; Dale and Polasky 2007; Nedkov and Burkhard 2012). Being hardly visible and comparably difficult to understand, these services are not widely acknowledged by the society. This undervaluation displays an enormous error: As all produced goods or enjoyed structures depend on the healthy coordination of ecological controls and feed backs, the regulations in ecological systems are the very basic requirements for any ecosystem service.

Acta Ecol Sin 30:67–75 Cultural Services in Aquatic Ecosystems João Manuel Garcia Rodrigues Abstract Many people seek and interact with aquatic ecosystems such as seas, rivers and wetlands to obtain non-material benefits provided by cultural ecosystem services. These services influence the way people live and feel in the world and contribute to the satisfaction of fundamental human needs.
Land use activities. Typical direct drivers are the human demand for goods and services, health, social relations, security, education, and freedom, creating certain consumption patterns, life styles and motivations. g. demographical development, economic and social conditions, or political constraints. g. by release of substances, physical and biological agents, the use of resources and the use of land by human activities. That pressure affects a change of the ecosystem state, which can be indicated by quantifiable and qualitative physical, biological and chemical conditions in a defined area.
