  2. Ecosphere (aquarium) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosphere_(aquarium)

    It is "self-sustaining" in comparison to systems which degrade much more quickly. The advantage of an aquarium closed with a lid (rather than a permanently sealed plug, which is found in the base of an EcoSphere) is that if the system goes out of equilibrium, the owner can remedy conditions and prevent a complete die-off. Intervention to ...

  3. Closed ecological system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_ecological_system

    Closed ecological systems or contained ecological systems (CES) are ecosystems that do not rely on matter exchange with any part outside the system. The term is most often used to describe small, man-made ecosystems. Such systems can potentially serve as a life-support system during space flights, in space stations or space habitats.

  4. Aquatic ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ecosystem

    An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem found in and around a body of water, in contrast to land-based terrestrial ecosystems. Aquatic ecosystems contain communities of organisms — aquatic life —that are dependent on each other and on their environment. The two main types of aquatic ecosystems are marine ecosystems and freshwater ecosystems. [1]

  5. Controlled ecological life-support system - Wikipedia

    Controlled ecological life-support system. Controlled (or closed) ecological life-support systems (acronym CELSS) are a self-supporting life support system for space stations and colonies typically through controlled closed ecological systems, such as the BioHome, BIOS-3, Biosphere 2, Mars Desert Research Station, and Yuegong-1 .

  6. Biosphere 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2

    The soils were selected to have enough carbon to provide for the plants of the ecosystems to grow from infancy to maturity, a plant mass increase calculated to be 20 short tons (18,000 kg). [56] The release rate of that soil carbon as carbon dioxide by respiration of soil microbes was an unknown that the Biosphere 2 experiment was designed to ...

  7. Sustainable fishery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_fishery

    A fishery is socially sustainable if the fishery ecosystem maintains the ability to deliver products the society can use. Major species shifts within the ecosystem could be acceptable as long as the flow of such products continues. [2] Humans have been operating such regimes for thousands of years, transforming many ecosystems, depleting or ...
