If you’re not an ecologist, you’re probably more concerned with ecosystem services, which is not the same thing as ecosystem function. Ecosystem function measures the “health” of a given ecosystem, while ecosystem services are the goods and services produced from nature.

I couldn’t have said it better. My opponent refused a debate at a local radio station because they “lean left”, yet I accepted a debate invitation with the Chamber of Commerce that leans right but you have to pay to get in. Talk about lack of accountability and transparency.
I understand why rural Republican candidates don’t debate—they can’t. They have few policies to help their constituents and a debate would expose that. However, it’s undemocratic to not be available to voters and unwilling to answer questions. I get it, but it’s bad form.
