Questions about these are typically categorical. For example “what type of service function is ______? “ There are four categories of ecosystem service functions. The categories are Provisional, regulating, cultural and supporting. Provisional means getting something to sustain you. Ex. Forest provide food. Cultural means you celebrate it for your beliefs- Ex.
