Ecosystems are as dynamic and complex as the plant, animal, microbial and the nonliving components of which they are made. Humans are an integral part of most every ecosystem--not only are we agents of change, we are consumers of ecosystem goods and services that range from the provisioning of food, fuel, fiber, and fresh water to the regulation of processes that affect air quality, climate, erosion control, and human diseases. CSREES Ecosystem Program goals are to increase the scientific and public understanding that human well-being is inextricably linked to the sustainable use and management of ecosystems.
