- Title
WHAT ECOSPHERE MEANS FOR ENGINEERS.
- Authors
Cain, Stanley A.
- Abstract
The article comments on a pamphlet by Pentti Malaska about the global ecosystem of the biosphere, which was published in connection with the International Conference on Environmental Future held in Jyvaskyla, Finland. The function of the biosphere is based on two principles: the flow of energy of the sun, fixed in chemical form by photosynthesis and with eutrophic dissipation of energy as it passes through the plant-animal food web and the recycling of matter by individual organisms.
