Biosphere

Since this initial formulation, the term has been further developed and is now considered to encompass all the ecosystems of the Earth. | Today, some scientists have argued that the biosphere itself is a kind of superorganism. | Each of the plants, animals, and other organisms serve as just a piece of the whole. | In 1875, the geologist Eduard Suess used the term biosphere to describe the location where all living things dwell. | The biosphere is thought to have developed about 3.5 billion years ago when the first living organisms began to appear. | It includes every living organism on the planet as well as their interactions with the earth, water, and air.
