Abstract:
Galaxies can be considered as complex ecosystems, whose fate is 
governed by an intricate network of physical mechanisms involving them 
and their habitat. Gas replenishment from the 
intergalactic/circumgalactic medium, star formation and chemical 
enrichment, gas recycling in the interstellar medium and ejection of 
processed material through starburst/AGN-driven outflows, are the main 
processes of the so-called baryon cycle regulating the evolution of 
galaxies. I will review past and current research on these subjects, 
from both observational and theoretical points of view, with particular 
emphasis on what we can learn from the largest existing and upcoming 
telescopes (e.g., VLT, ALMA, JWST).
