It's believed that you need the right conditions before life can survive and even thrive. You need the right temperature, pressure, available chemicals, etc. before a place is minimally viable for life. A new paper argues that life can change local conditions to make it habitable, with feedback and regulation keeping an ecosystem habitable. Biology can block radiation, sustain temperature, and manage pressure, widening the habitable zone of a star significantly.
