Nature is a polysemic word, which has several fundamental meanings: the composition and the material of a thing (what it is, its essence), as well as the origin and the becoming of a thing in its spontaneity and its temporal lethargy [unclear] (free of an end, human nature [not neutral]). It defines the set of systems and natural phenomena (and humans, which are also recognized as compounds of nature).
In common sense, nature includes:
the biophysical environment, habitat and so-called natural (terrestrial), aquatic or marine environments; preserved (with high naturalness) and degraded;
wild landscapes, landscaped and altered landscapes;
the "forces" and physical, geological, tectonic, meteorological, biological, evolutionary principles that make up the universe and those that drive ecosystems and the biosphere on Earth;
the environments (water, air, soil, sea, mineral world);
