Abstract:
The necessity is considered to use a compositional approach to the assessment of life phenomena in biosphere instead of, and in practice, in addition to, the traditional reductional approach. From this viewpoint, the construction of logics from top to bottom, from life as an independent system in the biosphere, to system elements, as it is the case in biogeochemistry and the general biological theory, will also appear to be necessary for biogeophysics, if such interdisciplinary science is destined to emerge.
