Stability of a Closed Ecosystem

Abstract

To explore the avenues leading to stable coexistence between man and his environment in a closed ecosystem, a microcosm was examined from the standpoint of the stability involved in the sundry interactions between man, other organisms and the environment. The microcosm developed for this study simulates the ecosystem of the earth. It is a selfsustaining system where the organisms are able to coexist and a delicate recycling of materials is achieved. This study demonstrates that a system resembling the microcosm can ensure peace and stability in a closed ecosystem, such as CELSS.
