Gaia hypothesis of Earth self-regulation
Overview
The Gaia hypothesis, developed by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, proposes that Earth operates as a self-regulating system where living organisms and physical components interact to maintain conditions suitable for life.
While the theory focuses on how biological and chemical processes, such as the carbon cycle and photosynthesis, influence atmospheric and oceanic composition, it also carries implications for climate science. The hypothesis suggests that while life helps maintain planetary homeostasis, human activities may disrupt this global equilibrium. It further notes that the maintenance of a habitable planet does not necessarily guarantee the survival of the human species.
