Biophysical environment refers to the natural components of the Earth’s systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, and their interactions with each other. It includes the physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape the natural world, and the living and non-living components that make up ecosystems. The biophysical environment plays a critical role in supporting life on Earth, providing essential resources such as air, water, and food, as well as regulating climate, weather patterns, and nutrient cycles. Changes to the biophysical environment, caused by human activities such as land use changes, pollution, and climate change, can have significant impacts on the health and well-being of humans and other species, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices that protect and preserve the natural world.
