Is my use of "which" correct

Question

Could someone please tell me if the following sentence is correct?

"Blue infrastructure can provide a wide range of ecosystem services, such as pest control, climate control and carbon sequestration, which can advance economic, social, and ecological sustainability as well as climate resilience. "

I'm specifically thinking about the use of "which" and whether it's a run-on sentence. Thanks in advance

The use of "which" is correct. It refers to "ecosystem services". It isn't a run-on sentence.

Yes. Which and the comma before it were properly used.

"Which" describes "as pest control, climate control and carbon sequestration"; it's called a relative/adjective clause:

In grammar, a relative clause is a subordinate clause which specifies or gives information about a person or thing. Relative clauses come after a noun or pronoun and, in English, often begin with a relative pronoun such as 'who', 'which', or 'that'.

There are two types of relative/adjectival clauses: Restrict and Non-restrict:

Restrict: Provide necessary information about the noun or thing being described, when the relative clause is restrict, no comma must be insert, E.G: The boy who I met in the party is here - if I removed "who I met in the party", there would be no way to identify the boy; it could be any boy: The boy is here.

Non-Restrict: Provide information which isn't necessary to make the sentence meaningful, E.G: My girlfriend, who is blond, is coming over.

When the adjective/relative clause is non-restrict, you must add a comma, when not, no comma.
