... The biosphere is the portion of the Earth that supports life. The biosphere spans from a few miles up in the atmosphere to the deepest part of the oceans, and also seems to extend an indefinite distance underground. Every organism in the biosphere depends on its environment for survival. The environ ...

... Both of these themes are still topics of study. As major changes in marine food webs are observed, we need criteria to determine the limits on the new community structure. Further, can the ideas of simple trophic ladders be used as basic elements in marine ecosystems extending to multispecies models ...
