    The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of life on Earth‚ a closed (apart from solar and cosmic radiation)‚ and self-regulating system.[1] From the broadest biophysiologicalpoint of view‚ the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships‚ including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved‚ beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis

    Biomes Comparison Essay Ecologists group earth’s diverse environments into biomes. A biome is a complex of terrestrial communities that develops a large area and is characterized by certain soil climate conditions and particular assemblages of plants and animals. Not all species live in every biome they vary in their adaptations to different conditions. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that increases an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce. These sorts of variations in plants

    1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between
