Relating to the interaction between geological processes and living organisms; the study of how life and Earth systems influence each other.
From Greek geo- (Earth) + bio- (life) + -logic (relating to the study of), creating an adjective for the interdisciplinary field examining life-Earth interactions. This term emerged as scientists recognized Earth and biology as deeply interconnected.
Geobiologic thinking changed science completely—once researchers realized that rocks don't just sit there but actually interact with life (and vice versa), they had to create words to describe this revolution in understanding.
