Biosphere 2 facts
While investigating facts about Biosphere 2, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Scientists created a completely enclosed, artificial environment called Biosphere 2 and made one mistake that caused all the trees to fall down before maturation: there was no wind so trees failed to develop stress wood, which is necessary for them to stand.
