If only I wasn't terrible at math

I have gone upto Phd in chemical engineering, but shifted to geophysics in the middle of it, because of strong interest in understanding the geophysics of life.

Didn't it ever occur to you that the foremost task of Geoscience specifically (though it applies to all search for knowledge as such, in general) must be to derive the mathematical model, and the formulae for, growth of plants as a function of particle interactions inside the earth that lead to composition of seeds, water and fertilizer, which enable them (plants) to grow?

It is obvious that such a process should exist, if we are to give physical explanation, and acquire control over, our own appearance on the surface of the earth.

This, composition of beings inside and delivery through plants as food to be assembled by already delivered beings, is a procrss that the earth performs billions of times every single day.

Why do we ignore this completely, i.e. to analyze the earth as the only vessel that performs this function in the entire known universe?

In addition, such knowledge of plants as nature's own "all in one" measuring instrument and potential controller of internal functions of the earth, would outperform, and render superfluous, all man made measuring instruments by far and serve as the only tool available to prevent disasters and deseases before they occur..

I would like to know your (and, of course, anybody else's) view on this, especially as plants remain the only tangible entity that delivers and sustains life (100%) in the entire known universe?

Hello...
Could you please tell me...Physics or Geophysics...which is best...
I am confused to choose...
