Biosphere

The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems, representing the zone of life on Earth. It includes all living organisms—plants, animals, fungi, and micro-organisms—as well as their interactions with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. The biosphere functions as a dynamic and interconnected system where energy flows, and matter cycles through various processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient cycling. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of life on our planet and supporting biodiversity. The protection of the biosphere is essential for sustaining life, as it provides the resources and ecosystem services necessary for human survival and the well-being of all species.
