Abstract
The oxic part of the biosphere includes the surface, the top soil, and the upper regions of lakes and oceans. It is the site of a surprisingly large proportion of the total biosynthesis of reduced molecular species. The production under oxic conditions of reduced compounds of the principal groups of elements used by the biota is discussed.
