Answer 2

The correct answer is nutrient cycling. Nutrient cycling is an indirect ecosystem service because it is not a service that directly benefits humans, but it is important for the functioning of ecosystems and the provision of other ecosystem services that do benefit humans. Fossil fuels are not an example of an ecosystem service but a nonrenewable resource. Medication is a direct ecosystem service, as it directly benefits human health, and hiking is a recreational service, which is also a direct benefit to humans.
