Understand the concept of ecosystem services: Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans receive from ecosystems. They are typically categorized into four types: provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services.
Identify cultural ecosystem services: Cultural ecosystem services are non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation, and aesthetic experiences.
Analyze the options provided: Look at each option and determine which one fits the definition of a cultural ecosystem service.
Evaluate 'Nutrient cycling': This is a supporting service, as it involves the natural processes that maintain the conditions for life on Earth.
Evaluate 'Recreational activities': This fits the definition of a cultural ecosystem service, as it involves non-material benefits such as enjoyment and leisure activities in forest environments.
