  1. Linkages Among Various Ecosystem Components Water use and agrochemical runoff Fresh Water Supply Water availability Agricultural Production Hydrologic, CO2 and temperature changes Erosion and changes in water flow Greenhouse gas emissions Precipitation and temperature Land transformation Temperature changes Climate Change Forest Products CO2 release and sequestration Loss of crop genetic diversity Reduced resilience Habitat loss and fragmentation Habitat change Change in transpiration and albedo Temperature and pH changes Habitat loss Reduced resilience Fisheries Biodiversity Loss Fishing impacts
