Networks on Networks (Second Edition): Role of connectivity in physics of geobiology and geochemistry

‘Networks on Networks’ demonstrates the relevance of the network properties of the pore-space in the soil to the organization of understanding of plant growth, soil formation, river network development, and the water cycle, with the ability to directly relate time scales from seconds to the cycle of supercontinent break-up and assembly (Wilson Cycle). In the process, implications regarding the viability of the strong vs. the weak (Earth only acts like a living organism) Gaia hypotheses are ...
