What is the biosphere? The Biosphere is made up of the parts of the Earth where life exists. It includes the land, ocean, and atmosphere. Life exists from9.5 km deepin the oceans up to50 km highin the atmosphere. Within the biosphere living things span a range of sizes, from the micr...
The biosphere is all living components of the earth (humans, plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, protists, and all microscopic organisms on land, in the air, and in the oceans). It also includes all organic matter that has not yet decomposed. This living part is hugely dependent on the oth...
The biotic sphere, known as the biosphere, encompasses all living organisms. This includes a vast diversity of life forms, from microscopic bacteria to towering trees, as well as animals such as birds, mammals, and insects. The biosphere relies on the abiotic spheres for survival, drawing on t...

In the following order, the biosphere, which includes forests, mountains, animals, and vegetation, has also been frequently dealt with in transboundary areas (n = 93, 22.9%). A few articles include the lithosphere (n = 13, 3.2%) and atmosphere (n = 11, 2.7%). The articles from the ...
biosphere. A full appreciation of the role of temperature-dependent processes associated with the BCP may then be key, not only for the future, but also to understand the drivers for a variety of evolution and extinction events recorded in the geological record....
