Regulating ES<\/strong> provide good conditions for provisioning ES, for agriculture, and for recreation. Regulating ES related to atmosphere, soil and water are closely connected between each other. For example, preventing water and wind erosion of soils simultaneously ensures the quality of surface runoff and air quality, reducing the amount of dust. These relationships facilitate physical valuation of ES, since the same indicators and maps can be used to evaluate different services. When monetary valuing, this must be taken into account to avoid double counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example of the interaction of soil-protective and water-regulating services performed by vegetation: on the right, the site is protected from overgrazing, has developed grass and soil covers, which also retain water, allowing woody vegetation to develop there as well. On the left, the site is almost devoid of vegetation and soil and is being dried out (neighborhood of Yerevan, Kasakh village, January 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
