Stuyvesant Park – Manhattan, NYC
Stuyvesant Park – Lower East Side, NYC
Though it is a small and humble park in comparison with ones like Central Park, Stuyvesant Park is home to a bevy of ecosystem services. As depicted here, it sets the stage for both recreational cultural services and regulating services like air purification and carbon sequestration (when the trees intake and make use of the carbon in the environment). Without the trees’ performance as “resuscitators” of life, so to speak, all oxygen-breathing life would suffocate.
