[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 380315, member: 175235"] Yea, in perfectly controlled situations with all the right things it will work (as 'earth' works). One of the theories behind the biosphere was that ecosystems self maintain and can adapt to quite drastic changes, I think it was privately funded as no research body would pay to test this theory, maybe not. Anyway the biosphere experiments highlighted that ecosystems are quite difficult to recreate, and don't self maintain in the ways some thought, you wouldn't want to be half a million miles away from earth and discover that some seal was letting o2 out due to some unforeseen reaction, or the rats were mysteriously dying and so the whole ecosystem was going to fall apart.
