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 syst...

This layer, our biosphere, is the only place where we know life exists. We humans emerged and evolved within the biosphere. Our economies, societies, and cultures are part of it. It is our home. Across the ocean and the continents, the biosphere integrates all living beings, their ...
Water and the Hydrologic Cycle As any backyard horticulturist knows, plants need good soilandwater. In the course of circulating throughout Earth, water makes its way through organisms in the biosphere as well as reservoirs housed within the geosphere. It also circulates continuousl...

The long-term diversification of the biosphere responds to changes in the physical environment. Yet, over the continents, the nearly monotonic expansion of life started later in the early part of the Phanerozoic eon1than the expansion in the marine realm, where instead the number of genera waxed...
Precipitation-based assessments show a lengthening of tropical dry seasons under climate change, without considering simultaneous changes in ecosystem water demand. Here, we compare changes in tropical dry season length and timing when dry season is defi
