This sounds awful similar to the Gaia Hypothesis which states:
"That the very makeup of the atmosphere, seas, and terrestrial crust is the result of radical interventions carried out by Gaia through the evolving diversity of living creatures.``
That is a direct quote from James Lovelock and says precisely the exact same thing that you posted..
btw, this is not a theory.

Environmental Determinism. However, it is widely disputed by the theory of possibilism. Hope i helped!
