Biosphere

INTRODUCTION

Thebiosphereis the global sum of

allecosystems. It can also be termed
the zone oflifeonEarth.By the most
generalbiophysiologicaldefinition, the
biosphere is theglobalecologicalsystem
integrating all living beings and their
relationships, including their interaction
with the elements of the lithosphere,
geosphere,hydrosphere, and
atmosphere.

Biosphere and Interdependence

TheBiosphereis the global sum of allecosystems. It
can also be termed the zone oflifeonEarth, a
closed system (apart from solar and cosmic
radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth),
largelyincludes
self-regulating
The and
Biosphere
forms of life on Earth. The
realms of the natural environment are not separate
units, but are interlinked. This interrelation is seen in
theon
Biosphere.
Life
Biosphere is dependent on the soil of the
crust on the Lithosphere.
The Biosphere is the globalecologicalsystem
integrating all living beings and their relationships,
including their interaction with the elements of the
lithosphere,,hydrosphere, andatmosphere.
