All land is not created equal. Some ecosystems do triple duty in the benefits they provide to society. Massachusetts forests, for example, filter public drinking water while also providing habitat for threatened species and storing carbon to combat climate change.\u00a0Ecologists and conservation groups single out the hardest-working ecosystems \u2013 called \u201chotspots\u201d \u2013 for their exceptional conservation value. A new study published today in the Journal of Applied Ecology reports that the number of ecosystem hotspots has increased in Massachusetts over the past decade, with more and more hotspots popping up in metro Boston.\u00a0But, the study authors say, more hotspots may not be a good thing.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-317316","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nUrban development causes damage and loss of valuable ecosystems - Revolution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"All land is not created equal.
