Abiotic component
In biology and ecology, abiotic components or abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems.

Anaerobic organism
An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth.

Atmosphere
An atmosphere is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body.

Atmosphere of Earth
The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, that surrounds the planet Earth and is retained by Earth's gravity.

Atmospheric chemistry
Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of atmospheric science in which the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere and that of other planets is studied.

Biophysics
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies the approaches and methods of physics to study biological systems.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Biophysics · See more »
Branches of science
The branches of science, also referred to as sciences, "scientific fields", or "scientific disciplines" are commonly divided into three major groups.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Branches of science · See more »
Built environment
In social science, the term built environment, or built world, refers to the human-made surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, ranging in scale from buildings to parks.

Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Carbon dioxide · See more »
Climate change
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years).
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Climate change · See more »
Discipline (academia)
An academic discipline or academic field is a branch of knowledge.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Discipline (academia) · See more »
Ecology
Ecology (from οἶκος, "house", or "environment"; -λογία, "study of") is the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Ecology · See more »
Environment Agency
The Environment Agency (EA) is a non-departmental public body, established in 1995 and sponsored by the United Kingdom government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), with responsibilities relating to the protection and enhancement of the environment in England (and until 2013 also Wales).
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Environment Agency · See more »
Environmental science
Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences (including ecology, biology, physics, chemistry, plant science, zoology, mineralogy, oceanology, limnology, soil science, geology and physical geography (geodesy), and atmospheric science) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Environmental science · See more »
Environmental studies
Environmental studies is a multidisciplinary academic field which systematically studies human interaction with the environment in the interests of solving complex problems.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Environmental studies · See more »
Extinction
In biology, extinction is the termination of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Extinction · See more »
Great Oxygenation Event
The Great Oxygenation Event, the beginning of which is commonly known in scientific media as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE, also called the Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust, Oxygen Revolution, or Great Oxidation) was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen (O2) in Earth's atmosphere.

Human
Humans (taxonomically Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Human · See more »
Human impact on the environment
Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes changes to biophysical environments and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by humans, including global warming, environmental degradation (such as ocean acidification), mass extinction and biodiversity loss, ecological crises, and ecological collapse.

Index of conservation articles
This is an index of conservation topics.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Index of conservation articles · See more »
Life
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that do have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Life · See more »
List of environmental issues
This is an alphabetical list of environmental issues, harmful aspects of human activity on the biophysical environment.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and List of environmental issues · See more »
Lists of environmental topics
The natural environment commonly referred to simply as the environment, is all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth or some part of it (e.g. the natural environment in a country).

Metabolism
Metabolism (from μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Metabolism · See more »
Microscopic scale
The microscopic scale (from, mikrós, "small" and σκοπέω, skopéō "look") is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly.
New!!: Environment (biophysical) and Microscopic scale · See more »
Natural environment
The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case not artificial.

Ocean
An ocean (the sea of classical antiquity) is a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere.

Old-growth forest
An old-growth forest — also termed primary forest, virgin forest, primeval forest, or late seral forest— is a forest that has attained great age without significant disturbance and thereby exhibits unique ecological features and might be classified as a climax community.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.
