Includes bibliographical references and index

First published in 1991, "The Biosphere" is student text in environmental science. Describing the processes that operate in the natural environment in a jargon-free, student-friendly style, it aims to make complex concepts readily comprehensible without over-simplification. For this edition, the text has been thoroughly overhauled to include developments, discoveries and emerging areas of controversy. Due to a general increase in the interest and awareness of climatic change, it incorporates an entire new section on "Geography of the Biosphere". With "learning outcomes" at the end of each chapter, it provides an excellent introduction to the basic scientific principles which underpin studies of the biosphere
