From brain formation to oxygen supply, Earth's other life is responsible for just about everything that makes our lives possible. (Scroll down for citations.) Earth's composition of life and living ecosystems is everything to us humans. \"Ecosystem services\" -- the academic term for Earth's literal, planetary life-support system services, are the products, conditions, bodies, functionalities, services, communities, other companions, and more we typically take for granted, which are generated by the Life before and around us today. Earth’s global life-support system is composed of a continuous life-interaction of water-based/atmospheric/landscape/and subterranean micro and macro organisms. Please check out the prior two podcasts in this series for more info. Biosphere Earth provides for just about every aspect of human identity and existence. This series seeks to connect people of all backgrounds to a better understanding of what our life-support system is and how its integrity is our #1 economic and shared priority. This episode synopsizes what Earth's complex biosphere does for us.  ################Read The Value of Biosphere Earth, part 3: Ecosystem Services  by Chris Searles, on Google Drive: https://tinyurl.com/VOBE3-ecoservicesRead Chris' essay on this topic. Visit our website for more: https://biointegrity.net/valueAbout Chris Searlesdirector, BioIntegrity.net / exec. editor, AllCreation.orgother notable research: The Systemic Climate Solution################ Citations Map of Earth’s vertebrate biodiversity concentrations on land.• Data: Jenkins, Pimm, Joppa.
