Global human-made mass exceeds all living biomass.
Elhacham E, Ben-Uri L, Grozovski J, Bar-On YM, Milo R. Elhacham E, et al. Among authors: bar on ym. Nature. 2020 Dec;588(7838):442-444. doi: 10.1038/s41586-020-3010-5. Epub 2020 Dec 9. Nature. 2020. PMID: 33299177
Humanity has become a dominant force in shaping the face of Earth(1-9). An emerging question is how the overall material output of human activities compares to the overall natural biomass. Here we quantify the human-made mass, referred to as 'anthropogenic mass', an …
