Etymology

The term 'biosphere' was first coined by geologist Eduard Suess in 1875 to describe the part of the Earth inhabited by living organisms. The concept was further developed by Vladimir Vernadsky in the 1920s, who defined the biosphere as the sum of all ecosystems on Earth. The biosphere plays a vital role in supporting life on the planet, providing essential resources and regulating the environment.
