Biosphere 2 is a research facility designed to simulate a self-sustaining ecosystem, like Earth's biosphere, in a closed environment. It functions by carefully balancing the interactions between plants, animals, soil, and atmosphere within its sealed structure. The goal is to study how these components interact and change over time in a controlled environment.
Biosphere 2 was built between 1987 and 1991 in Oracle, Arizona. It was designed as a research facility to study how ecosystems function.
Biosphere 2 housed eight people during its first closure experiment in the early 1990s.
The scientific adventurers in Biosphere 2 lived there for two years, from 1991 to 1993. They conducted experiments to explore the feasibility of self-sustaining ecosystems in a closed environment.
Biosphere 2 faced challenges due to its ambitious design and management issues. The closed ecological system struggled to maintain balance between its diverse components, leading to oxygen and carbon dioxide imbalances. Additionally, conflicts among the participants and financial difficulties contributed to its ultimate failure.
The Biosphere 2 had numerous animals, including chickens, goats, pigs, bees, and fish. These animals were part of the self-sustaining ecosystem within the structure, providing food, pollination, and waste recycling functions.
Biosphere 2 is owned by the University of Arizona. It is managed by the university's Biosphere 2 Research Corporation.
Biosphere covers 3.15 acres of land.
