abstract = {The Biosphere 2 Laboratory of Biosphere 2 Center, Arizona,
is a unique, self-contained glasshouse fostering several
mesocosms of tropical and subtropical regions on an area of
12,700 m2. It was constructed around 1990 to test whether
human life is possible in this completely sealed,
self-sustaining artificial ecosystem. Mainly due to overly
rich organic soils, the initial mission failed in a
spectacular manner that raised enormous disbelief in the
scientific seriousness of the project. From 1995 to 2003,
the facility had been operated by Columbia University under
a completely new scientific management. The aim of the
project had then been to conduct research in the field of
'experimental climate change science'. Climatic conditions
within the mesocosms can be precisely controlled. In studies
with elevated CO2, altered temperature and irrigation
regimes performed in the rainforest, coral reef and
agriforestry mesocosm, the facility had proven to be a
valuable tool for global climate change research. Upon
submission of this manuscript, Columbia University is
relinquishing the management of this facility now although
there was a contract to operate the facility until 2010,
leaving it with an unclear destiny that might bring about
anything from complete abandonment to a new flowering phase
with a new destination.},
