Abstract

Abstract The Earth has undergone numerous geological and biological changes over billions of years. The evolution of plants and animals had a direct relationship with the elements’ changes in the atmosphere and the development of the biogeochemical cycles on Earth. The Anthropocene is the age of the Homo sapiens leaves its geological signature on the planet. Human domination and/or interference in the biogeochemical cycles results in an environmental change that affects not only ecosystems, in general, but also the biota and global biodiversity. In this way, we are creating another mass extinction event, the “sixth extinction wave” as well as transforming the ecosystems’ functions and services.

地球上生命和生物地球化学循环的共同进化

数十亿年来，地球经历了无数的地质和生物变化。植物和动物的进化与大气中元素的变化和地球生物地球化学循环的发展有着直接的关系。人类世是指智人在地球上留下地质印记的时代。人类对生物地球化学循环的支配和/或干预导致的环境变化不仅影响一般的生态系统，而且影响生物群和全球生物多样性。这样，我们正在制造另一次大规模灭绝事件，即“第六次灭绝浪潮”，同时也在改变生态系统的功能和服务。
