Natural Vegetation of India and ISFR report: Which ecosystem service is NOT typically provided by forests?

While forests provide numerous ecosystem services including water purification through natural filtration, soil conservation through root systems preventing erosion, and biodiversity conservation by providing habitats, mineral extraction is not an ecosystem service. Mineral extraction is a human activity that often conflicts with forest conservation, as mining can lead to deforestation and habitat destruction, representing resource exploitation rather than a natural forest service.
