A Living Planet

Gresham College

Earth is a living planet. But how much life is there, and what is it doing? How is biomass distributed? How does it affect the environment?

Earth is a living planet. But how much life is there, and what is it doing? We will discuss the distribution of biomass on Earth, and compare the effects of microbes, wild animals, domesticated animals. The aim of this lecture is to provide concrete examples of how life is woven in with the rest of the planetary engine, expanding the importance of biodiversity from sentiment alone to a matter of survival for both whole ecosystems and our own civilisation. A lecture by Professor Helen Czerski.This event is also available to watch live online.
