The uncomfortable and inconvenient truth is that the physical resources of the biosphere are finite. We're not approaching the ecological limits to growth; we're well past them. And in the process we are fouling the planet with our wastes and threatening the natural systems on which humanity ...
Manú National Park is a biological wonder, protected—for now—by isolation and the indigenous people deep in its rain forest.
The second most important constituent of the biosphere is liquid water. This can only existin a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0℃ and boils at 100℃. This is only a tiny range compared with the low temperatures of some other planets and the hot interior of the...

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous process that describes the movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface.
The earth's biosphere (the surface layer of the planet and the surrounding atmosphere) provides the land air water and energy necessary to sustain life. This life-support system is a complex interdependent one in which energy from the sun is changed into food for humans. The entire system dep...
In the human living environment, the atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere are closely related to nature. Aerosphere gives people sunshine, air and wind; The earth circle gives people the base site, land and mineral resources for survival; The hydrosphere provides people with water for ...

Bacteriophages are the most numerous biological entities in the biosphere1,2and possess unparalleled genetic diversity3. Host factors needed for phage replication are poorly understood, but mutations both in receptors and intracellular functions can confer phage resistance, and phages must co-evolve in ...
