The Biologic Podcast

Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things. The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself. At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we

Episode 41 - Ecosystem & Biosphere Ecology

The Biologic Podcast ·

2019/08/15

The ecosystem is the consummate totality of a regions ecology, including not just all the organisms & their interactions, but also their interactions with the physical environment, and the geochemical cycling that sustains it all. The biosphere is the totality of all ecosystems on the planet; it is the thin layer of life that clings to the cooling crust of our world.
