    Definition intermediate physical components of nature (intermediate in that they are necessary to the production of services but are not services themselves) that are the inputs to an ecological production function that yields an ecosystem service Reference "Banzhaf, S & Boyd, J (2005), The Architecture and Measurement of an Ecosystem Services Index, Discussion Paper, October 2005, RFF DP 05-22, Resources for the Future, Washington DC, http://www.rff.org/documents/RFF-DP-05-22.pdf [20.1.2011]"
    Comment Example: the number of bees in an area is an ecosystem service to a nearby orchard. If edge habitat supports the bee population, it is valuable but not a service to the orchard. Its value to the orchard is as an asset supporting the bee population and is accounted for in measures of asset depletion and lost future bee populations. [Source: Banzhaf & Boyd 2005, as above]
