Quantitative test of Gaia hypothesis using networks.Treating soil as a physical network allows a better understanding of the biological networks based in the soil as well as enhanced accuracy of the prediction of the water cycle, the carbon cycle, soil physical properties, and plant species richness. This improvement in prediction addresses one of the biggest obstacles to predicting human impacts on climate change.IOP Ebooks SeriesRole of connectivity in physics of geobiology and geochemistry.GeobiologyGeochemistryGeophysicsbicsscSCIENCE / Physics / GeophysicsbisacshGeobiology.Geochemistry.Geophysics.SCIENCE / Physics / Geophysics.577Hunt Allen G292778Sahimi Muhammad21514Institute of Physics (Great Britain),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911132507003321Networks on Networks (Second Edition)4873340UNINA
