  "definition": "Classification of the biophysical components of nature that are either directly used by humans to produce goods and services or directly enjoyed or used to yield human well-being. They can also be described as final ecosystem goods. Components of any EEP can have a positive or negative impact on people, but a component of an EEP can only have a positive impact when that EEP is used to produce a flow of ecosystem service. Context: This NESCS Plus classification component addresses the question about what in nature is directly used or appreciated by humans. All flows of final ecosystems services originate from an EEP. One might use biophysical metrics or indicators to quantify an EEP. Example: Different types of flora and fauna, such as maple trees and chinook salmon, are examples of EEPs that are directly used and appreciated by individuals.",
