      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.},
