How is carbon dioxide recycled in a terrarium?

A closed terrarium is a closed ecosystem just on a much smaller scale. The supply of carbon dioxide in the terrarium air is very small because of the limited volume of air. Therefore, unless the terrarium contains animals to provide carbon dioxide or microbes break down large amounts of organic matter in the soil and release carbon dioxide, the plants in a sealed terrarium cannot gain significant dry weight. They would basically refix the same carbon dioxide over and over. The carbon dioxide the plants release during cellular respiration would be refixed via photosynthesis, then respired, refixed, respired, refixed, etc. Most terrariums are not completely sealed so carbon dioxide can enter and plants can gain dry matter via photosynthesis. The inventor of the terrarium, Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791-1868), supposedly had a "sealed terrarium" that survived four years but it is questionable if it was completely sealed because of the substantial plant growth he observed. Another attempt at a closed terrarium on a larger scale was the big Arizona greenhouse called Biosphere Two . It was originally supposed to be a sealed terrarium for two years containing several people, many animals and all sorts of plants. However, it got out of balance, and they had to add more oxygen because the amount of photosynthesis was less than required to supply adequate oxygen to all the animals.

Bearded dragon owners What does it mean when a bearded dragon keeps clawing at the terrarium wall?

It usually means that he sees something that interests him, or that he feels a little claustrophobic. Bearded dragons also love climbing up terrarium walls, to get more heat. (And just to have fun) If he is a male or female, it doesn't matter. It depends on his health and how big his terrarium is. Hop this helped! :)
