Many types of natural capital, however, have not been included: fresh water, soil, forests as providers of ecosystem services, and the atmosphere as a sink for such pollution as particulates and nitrogen and sulphur oxides. If these missing items were included, the poor world’s economic performance over the past three decades, including China’s, would look far worse.
然而，还有许多其它的自然资本未被包含在其中：淡水、土壤、提供生态服务的森林和吸纳微粒、氮氧化物和硫氧化物等污染物的大气。如果这些缺失的项目被纳入评估，则包括中国在内的穷国在过去30年里的经济表现会显得糟糕许多。
