| Description | This cluster of papers explores the Gaia hypothesis, which proposes that the Earth is a self-regulating system involving complex interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It delves into topics such as planetary self-regulation, environmental regulation, microbial ecology, daisyworld modeling, and the impact of human activities on global warming and climate change. |
