1 Towards a Contextual Redefinition of the Anthroposphere
G H Boyle 18 August 2014

2 TROPOPAUSE TROPOSPHERE
Biophysical Environment Of the Anthroposphere (Concentrated at the bottom of the PBL) Subtropical jet TROPOPAUSE Polar jet North pole Ferrel cell Hadley cell Equator TROPOSPHERE Polar cell Planetary Boundary Layer ANTHROPOSPHERE Lithosphere Orrery Software - G H Boyle

3 The Earth’s Spheres Showing Conceptualized Spatial Overlap
LITHOSPHERE TROPOSPHERE MANTLE AND CORE GEOSPHERE PEDOSPHERE HYDROSPHERE BIOSPHERE Orrery Software - G H Boyle

4 Phenosphere of Oliva Porphyria (Mockup)
O. Porphyria Technosphere Artifacts including trails, biophysical wastes, remains after death Noösphere Practices including hiding, feeding, reproducing PREY SPECIES Orrery Software - G H Boyle

5 Phenosphere of Atta Cephalotes (Mockup)
Technosphere Artifacts including central and radial mounds, trails, gardens, refuse dumps, biophysical wastes, remains after death Noösphere Practices including reproducing, building mounds, trails and refuse dumps, farming fungi, defending mounds, trails and workers PREY SPECIES DOMESTICATED SPECIES Orrery Software - G H Boyle

6 Phenosphere of Homo Sapiens (Mockup)
H. Sapiens Technosphere Artifacts including cities, roads, gardens, refuse dumps, biophysical and industrial wastes, currency, economic instruments Noösphere Practices including reproduction, farming, educating, building, policing, judging, mining, manufacturing, clear-cutting, recreating, buying and selling PREY SPECIES DOMESTICATED INDUSTRIALIZED SPECIES AND Orrery Software - G H Boyle

7 Biosphere Consists of Overlapping “Phenospheres”
CLOVER ANTS RABBITS HOMO SAPIENS (ANTHORPOSPHERE) HAWKS FOXES FUNGI SQUIRRELS Define a phenosphere as the scope of control of a species of a given phenotype within the biosphere; arrows indicate direction of control. Orrery Software - G H Boyle

8 Typical Biophysical Environment Of a Phenosphere
ATMO/LITHO/HYDROSPHERES BIOSPHERE Predators Phenosphere Symbiots Parasites Prey Pathological Pests Competitors Commensals Orrery Software - G H Boyle

9 DEFINING THE ARENA OF INTEREST Using Proposed Redefinitions
BIOSPHERE Living organisms, their artifacts and practices ANTHROPOSPHERE H. Sapiens, their artifacts, practices, and controlled organisms Scope of Control of Humankind HUMANKIND Scope of Control and artifacts and wastes The anthroposphere is all of humankind, plus all of the biosphere within our scope of direct control. Orrery Software - G H Boyle

10 Biophysical Environment Of the Anthroposphere
ATMO/LITHO/HYDROSPHERES BIOSPHERE Predators Predators Parasites Pathological Pests Anthroposphere Prey Parasites Domestic / Farmed / Industrial Predators Parasites Pathological Pests Pathological Pests Commensals Orrery Software - G H Boyle
