The focus on benefits of ecosystem services often overlooks the importance of harmful effects, or 'ecosystem disservices', for example diseases such as malaria. In agriculture, disservices include negative effects of pests and diseases on crop quality and productivity, or the increase they cause in production costs when e.g., weeds compete for water and nutrients, which requires additional time and resources for weeding. 3, record 1, English, - ecosystem%20disservice

Par exemple, dans le cas du rafraîchissement des rues, si l'on trouvait la variété d'arbres optimale en termes de services et desservices écosystémiques (forte évapotranspiration, fort ombrage, forte rugosité, forte résistance aux conditions urbaines, faible émission d'allergènes et de polluants, etc.), la logique utilitariste voudrait que cette espèce soit prépondérante en ville, ce qui ne serait de toute évidence pas optimal en termes de biodiversité. 1, record 1, French, - desservice%20%C3%A9cosyst%C3%A9mique
