The book represents a collection of papers presented at VII International Symposium "Biogenic-abiogenic interactions in natural and anthropogenic systems" that was held on 26-29 September 2022 in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Papers in this book cover a wide range of topics connecting with interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components in lithosphere, biosphere and technosphere. The main regarding topics are following: biomineralization in living organisms and nature-like materials; biomineralization in geosystems; geochemistry of biogenic-abiogenic systems; biomineral interactions in soil; interaction of microorganisms with natural and artificial materials; medical geology; philosophical aspects of interdisciplinary researchs

Demonstrates the promise of an interdisciplinary approach Enriches understanding of wide range of problems of biogenic-abiogenic interactions in lithosphere, biosphere and technosphere Broadens the range of methods and approaches using to the study of biomineral interactions Summarizes the latest studies of Processes and Phenomena on the Boundary Between Biogenic and Abiogenic Nature
