	biosphere -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The biosphere is a global ecosystem composed of living organisms (biota) and the abiotic (nonliving) factors from which they derive energy and nutrients.
		The essential process in the biosphere, the portion of the Earth in which life can occur, that has permitted the evolution of life as it now exists is the conversion by green plants of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into carbohydrates, using light energy from the Sun.
		The continued functioning of the biosphere is dependent not only on the maintainance of the intimate interactions among the myriad species within local communities but also on the looser yet crucial interactions of all species and communities around the globe.

		When biosphere reserves were first established, little attention was given to the need for, or the use of, an identified Management Plan to guide the activities of the biosphere reserve and against which to assess its performance over time.
		When the biosphere reserve is established and the year-by-year running of the enterprise is then the main job, the nature of the local involvement is bound to change.
		Biosphere reserves without connection to the MAB national and internationally co-ordinated programmes in urban studies, education and training, land use and forest management, etc., are incomplete and unbalanced.
