Biosphere - the scientific term, concept, and object for studying.

This term exists in science for years and years. However it is not as popular as the terms: environment, environmental science, ecology, natural resources. Why? What are your thoughts when you think of the term, the biosphere?

Some of my thoughts on the biosphere are written in these research items:

Some of my publications related to issues of the biosphere are presented here:

@ David Buck, I recommended your answer. I thank you for your contribution. I am totally dissatisfied with the absence of a clear scientific definition, clear identification of what is the biosphere. You helped me a lot to identify the reason of my dissatisfaction! Look: you used absolutely different words trying to identify what is the biosphere: zone; organisms; ecosystems; atmosphere; chemistry; water; geofunctioning; materials;- totally different things! You helped me a lot to formulate what I see as a serious problem: we have no clear understanding of a very important scientific word, term, natural object!

You are an excellent experienced expert. And if we think of what is in the heads of non-experts, who are general public, just members of human society, just journalists… Perhaps it is the mist, fog and total confusion!!
