Biogeosystem Technique methodology as a new chemical soil-biological engineering foundation for the safe expanded technological development in the Noosphere

Nature of soil as a main Earth’s biogeochemical reactor is dramatically underestimated. This is the inappropriate result of outdated technologies of the current industrial stage of development.

There are attempts to hide the technological drawbacks under the veil of different modern terms. This, unfortunately, does not change the essence of the current aggravating conflict between biosphere and technology. This is a reluctance to abandon the nature-imitation approach to technology, including environmental, chemical, agrarian technology. The development potential of the biosphere is used now not on the full scale. There is a need now for heuristically qualified intuition to understand the nature of the niche for environmental soil engineering technology strategic development. This approach will ease the current contradiction between biosphere and technology. The global environmental challenge is a transcendental (not a direct imitation of nature) Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) technological platform of the Noosphere.  BGT* is capable to promote a promising niche for the environmental business development and nature-similar technological management.

One time BGT* based intra-soil milling of the 20–50 cm layer provides soil stable fine multilevel aggregate system, soil biome function for up to 40 years. The BGT* based intra-soil pulse continuous-discrete watering solves the world water scarcity problem. Water consumption is 5–20 times less compared to standard irrigation. The soil solution matrix potential range is from −0.2 MPa to −0.4 MPa, plant stomatal apparatus operates in the regulation mode. Water and nutrient efficacy is high. Intra-soil recycling of the municipal, industrial, waste and gasification byproduct in the soil layer of 20–50 cm in the course of this layer milling provides safety of the environment and plant nutrition. The yield is higher for 50–80 % compared to standard technology.

BGT* gives the new transcendental prospect to stabilize the Earth’s biosphere and climate system. The possibilities to achieve a goal are as follows: soil compaction overcoming; freshwater saving and high-level soil solution equilibria control; environmentally safe waste recycling; high biogeochemical barrier for heavy metal; of atmosphere N fixation in photosynthesis; soil organic matter synthesis, better function of humic substances, polymicrobial biofilms, and plant stimulants; plant resistance to phytopathogen, phytopathological, medical and veterinary environmental safety.

BGT*chemical soil-biological engineering intensifies the nutrient turnover and fertilizers return, decreases pesticides and nutrients off-target transport. This ensures higher yield and biofuel, higher efficacy of the technology, soil-biological reversible C sequestration, productive biosphere spreading, abundance, and safety; adaptation to climate change. BGT* provides the higher recreational potential of the biosphere. BGT* implementation requires technological and regulatory breakthrough for soil-chemical technology development niche expansion non-contradicting to Nature. BGT* is a promising sphere for worldwide Noosphere ventures.
