naturës

Naturës denotes the natural world and its phenomena, including living organisms, landscapes, climate, and geological processes. It includes biotic and abiotic components of Earth and serves as the basis for many scientific and philosophical inquiries.

It encompasses ecosystems such as forests, oceans, deserts, and wetlands, and the cycles that sustain them, such as energy flow and the cycles of carbon, water, and nutrients. Geophysical processes and abiotic factors like soil, air, and minerals are also part of naturës.

Humans interact with naturës through resource use, agriculture, industry, and urban development. The concept also informs environmental ethics and policy, aiming to balance human needs with the health and resilience of natural systems. The study of naturës spans disciplines including biology, ecology, geology, meteorology, and geography, employing observation, experiments, modeling, and remote sensing.

Cultural representations of naturës appear in art, literature, and philosophy, reflecting diverse values and perspectives on nature's beauty, worth, and role in human life. Conservation and policy aim to protect naturës, maintaining biodiversity, ecosystem services, and climate stability through protected areas, sustainable practices, and climate action. Ongoing challenges include habitat loss, pollution, invasive species, and resource depletion. See also ecology, biodiversity, conservation, climate change.
