Forests provide climate regulation by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis, which helps to mitigate global warming and maintain stable temperatures. Forests also impact precipitation patterns and help reduce the effects of natural disasters such as floods and landslides. While forests may also provide raw materials, biomass for energy production, medicinal chemicals, and building materials, these are not ecosystem services as they involve direct human extraction or use of forest resources rather than their natural functions in the ecosystem.
