Proposed merge of Biophysical environment into Natural environment

Widely overlapping concepts, even similar definitions:

"A biophysical environment is a biotic and abiotic surrounding of an organism or population"
"The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally"

Where both "biotic" and "living" are linked to Life. fgnievinski (talk) 04:00, 1 June 2023 (UTC) fgnievinski[reply]

I've completed the merge, but there was almost nothing there of value. Little was referenced; what was reference wasn't supported by the references, or was off topic (related topics section).

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 21:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introductory section unfinished

Reading the introductory section, the text at the end of the last paragraph is cut off, missing, or otherwise incomplete. (There isn't even punctuation.) It's some sort of sentence about soil comparisons, but can't tell more beyond that:

"If, for instance, in an agricultural field, the mineralogic composition and the structure of its soil are similar to those of an undisturbed forest soil, but the structure is quite different and more different" Hollyfeld (talk) 00:12, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem seemed to have been the unexplained addition of the final three words at some stage. I have removed them. HiLo48 (talk) 05:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
