The biosphere is the living and once-living part of the Earth system.
This includes microorganisms, animals, plants, and their interaction
within the biosphere and other Earth systems. It also includes dead
and decomposing living things and special molecules from once-living
material. During your journey through the Earth system, the biosphere
has already been playing a role. The presence of a biosphere, and
its interaction with other spheres, makes Earth a unique planet
in our Solar System.
