Great idea, John.

I added the term Biosphere to the B page. I'm not experienced enough in this
field to offer original content, so I searched for a resource that I could
reuse. I found one easily on the Connexions site (cnx.org), licensed CC-BY:

AP Environmental Science <http://cnx.org/content/col10548/latest/> (AP
stands for Advanced Placement, indicating that this resource reflects an
introductory college course, organized for use with secondary school
students in the US) - lots of good information in this resource from which
we can adapt glossary entries.

Also, the "how to help" page you created is very useful (see link from main
navigator on the glossary pages). I added a reference to the environmental
science resource mentioned above and some info about how to attribute.

Thanks for getting this all organized. Hopefully many of us can participate
in adding entries (you don't need to have expertise to adapt existing
information), making this important WE glossary a real collaborative effort.
