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...

Stevia rebaudiana(Bertoni) Bertoni was one of the plant species selected for underwater growth in the Nemo’s Garden®biospheres [7]. It is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family [8].S. rebaudianais an obligate short-day plant, so long-day prolongs the vegetative ...
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 is found in solid form as ice and snow. An ocean cave on the coast of Capri Island, Italy. Photo:John J. Mosesso, USGS. Public domain. Lithosphere The lithosphere contains the elements of the Earth crust and part of the upper mantle. This is the hard and rigid outer layer of ...
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
Stretching around 4,000 square miles, Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt flat in the world. Visit from December to April (the rainy season) for a phenomenon like no other: Due to a thin layer of water on top of the salt, Salar de Uyuni transforms into "The World's Largest Mirror,"...
Chemical space of a sea-water-derived Aquimarina strain Among the commercially available marine-derived prokaryotes, the sea-water-derived A. muelleri DSM 19832 T possessed many orphan and genus-specific BGCs (Fig. S6). Therefore, the chemical space of marine prokaryotes was experimentally exemplifie...
