How has life, in all its bacterial plant forms, shaped our planet?
How, in turn, have the environments shaped the living?
How to think of the biocene and the interdependence of the living with its environment?

Let's ask ourselves about our interdependence: that of the living with its environment and vice versa.
How the living co-constructed the Earth?
It is from this original question borrowed from the book
Biocene
written by our guest agronomist and physicist
Paul Mathis
that we will perhaps succeed in changing our outlook and approach to what we call the environment, of which we are a part.
Without bacteria there is no oxygen, without oxygen there is no life and who creates oxygen if not life, plant and animal?
Here we are well advanced to think differently: to
think from the middle
as the geographer and philosopher
Augustin Berque
will remind us ...
With
Paul Mathis
, agricultural engineer, doctor of physical sciences, he devoted his professional activity to research on photosynthesis, the mechanism for converting solar energy into chemical energy.
His book
