BIOSPHERE
When considered dynamically, the biosphere appears an arena of complex interactions among the essential natural cycles of its major consituents, with continuous fluxes of these constituents entering the biosphere, or being released by it. Once brought into being by evolution from an inorganic environment the living matter has profoundly altered the primitive lifeless earth, gradually changing the compositions of the atmosphere, the sea and the top layers of the solid crust both on land and under o the ocean. Since then, if one were to ascribe a single objective to evolution, it would be the perpetuation of life. This is the single end which the entire strategy of evolution is focused on, with evolution dividing the resources of any location, including its input of energy, among an ever increasing number of different kinds of users, which we recognize as plant and animal species.
