“…Or they can be anthropogenic (Raymond et al, 2013), such as land use, farming practices, and the increasing "artificialization" of soils (for example during the construction of shopping malls or vast areas of parking), in which case they can be schematized by another arrow emanating from the human side of the diagram. As in the case of human influences on what constitutes soil services, this arrow indicates that human societies are deciding what types of pressure they are willing to exert on the soil natural capital, and how they are willing to make it evolve, positively or negatively (Vignola et al, 2010;Murray-Rust et al, 2011;Li et al, 2014).…”

“…In this respect, the concept of "service" definitely has the upper hand, because it makes it possible to easily accommodate both positive and negative situations. Indeed, the term of "disservice" (Zhang et al, 2007;Ma and Swinton, 2011;Power, 2012;Bastian et al, 2013;Lele et al, 2013;Raymond et al, 2013;Li et al, 2014;Shackleton et al, 2016) carries unambiguously the suggestion of negative consequences for its recipients. In recent years, however, a number of authors have argued strongly against the use of this notion of disservice.…”

“…Ecological services for human life have been highlighted nowadays, and we have just realized that research on its beneficial and detrimental effects is important (Li et al 2014). Nevertheless, ecosystem service has both useful and difficult aspects for us and though it is not easy to control, it can greatly help the recovery process after a tsunami disaster (Costanza et al 1997;Gómez-Baggethun and Barton 2013;Jansson 2013).…”

There are only a few scientific data about the function of ecosystems after tsunami disasters. The ecosystems help the environment to recover after a disaster, and therefore, the research on its function is important. We estimated the seawater influences on wood degradation after a tsunami disaster by the growth of Trametes versicolor. The debris from the Great East Japan Earthquake on the pacific coast in March 2011 was used for the simulations. Its growth on debris was compared with those on seawater-treated woods, and the amount of sodium chloride was examined to know the approximate amount of salts in the samples. Sodium chloride contents were employed as an indicative parameter of sea salts, which contained many elements. As a result, this common white-rot fungus degraded wood debris in the same way as sound sapwood. Although the study was conducted at the laboratory level, this is the first report from the real debris, which assessed the fungal decomposition ability of the ecosystem after a tsunami disaster.

The awareness of Ecosystem services concept has gained prominence in the decision making process. The inclusion of this issue strictly depends on\ud the way in which may be incorporated in the development strategies of a region by the policy makers. The paper want to test one of the most used model to quantify the Ecosystem services, with a spatial distribution output, in order to recognize the critical issues and the opportunities to use it as a tool to support decision making process. The InVEST model was experimented for the Habitat Quality and Carbon Sequestration functions. The survey area is the Municipality of Lodi in the south part of Lombardy Region (north of Italy) due to the high accessibility to the database information and also to attempt the adaptability of the software to product reliable output at micro-scale
