Biosphere

Definition of Biosphere as it relates to Science, Earth Science, Zoology

The biosphere refers to the global sum of all ecosystems— terrestrial, marine, and aquatic. It is where life exists, thrives, and interacts with the physical environment. As an integral part of Earth science, it encompasses the study of living organisms and their interactions with the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. In the context of zoology, the biosphere focuses on animal life and their relationships within these ecosystems, making it a fitting addition to the hierarchy of Science/Earth Science/Zoology as a comprehensive exploration of life on Earth.
