Geophysiology

Geophysiology (Geo earth + physiology study of living bodies) is the study of interaction among lives on the Earth operating under the hypothesis that the earth itself is a single living body (Gaia).

The term Geophysiology was popularized by James Lovelock as part of his writing about the Gaia hypothesis.

It seeks to express the outcome of the Gaia hypothesis in scientific terms.
