Earth-Based Environmental Ethics (EBE) was developed on the planet Earth. Despite the deployment of various environmental protection laws by governments, the Earth continues to suffer unprecedented environmental crises such as resource depletion, climate change, species extinction, ecosystem damage, toxic air-water pollution, and contamination of water. This model aims to help human beings make choices consistent with ecological integrity and planetary boundaries. Its goal is to create incentives for positive environmental externalities while discouraging destructive ones.
Earth-based environmental geodata can be stored and processed using a variety of techniques. One common technique is using satellites that orbit Earth. Satellites have a high revisit rate, which means that they take pictures over an extended period of time. This allows scientists to process data at various levels, from the raw level to a map projection.
The biosphere on Earth consists of a wide variety of living organisms that share a similar physiology. These organisms are complex and have heritable genetic information. In addition, they undergo metabolic processes and maintain homeostasis. They also adapt to their surroundings over successive generations. Many species can even communicate by sending signals through different means, which helps them adapt to their environment.
Earth-based environmental science can help scientists understand the impact of climate change and land-use change on ecosystems. For example, different plants absorb carbon dioxide at different rates. In addition, different types of landscapes can affect sunlight absorption and reflection, which can affect plant response to climate change. Climate change also affects ocean circulation patterns, which affect the abundance of marine plankton and seaweed.
