Biogeochemical principles of Vernadsky as a ground for new field of science - Biospherics
Nickolay S. Pechurkin
Abstract
Abstract Possibilities to use biogeochemical principles of V.I. Vernadsky for quantitative description of life development were discussed in the paper. Two examples were taken into consideration. First example was given to discuss, so-cold, Darwin – Vernadsky paradox which was connected with complicated hierarchical structure of ecosystems and biosphere. Second example was connected with more qualitative than quantitative character of Vernadsky’ biogeochemical principles of biosphere and ecosystems development. Quantitative criteria to evaluate the development of multi-organisms systems were to take into account: energy fluxes and their use in biosystems of different hierarchical levels. Some of energy criteria (principles) were presented and analyzed. Main characteristics of Biospherics as a new field of natural science were presented and discussed.
