Introduction

The flow of services in an ecosystem is interactive as various services could be delivered by different ecosystems at the same time. To understand the limits of an environment and its resources, there is a need to look at the whole system as both integrated and interactive and then identify how multidisciplinary teams could create effective policies in using such services.
