The biophysical environment is the biotic and abiotic surrounding of an organism or population, and consequently includes the factors that have an influence in their survival, development and evolution. The biophysical environment can vary in scale from microscopic environment and the terrestrial environment. The number of biophysical environments is countless, given that each living organism has its own environment.
The term environment is often used as a short form for the biophysical environment, e.g. the UK's Environment Agency. The expression "the environment often refers to a singular global environment in relation to humanity."
