miniBIOTA
A living model of a modular, closed ecosphere
This miniature world provides a window into the intricate connections between living things. Observe how organisms interact, resources are exchanged, and ecosystems maintain balance.
See how energy flows, nutrients cycle, and life thrives
From light powering plant growth to decomposers breaking down waste, witness the essential processes that sustain life. Discover how even a small, enclosed system can support a complex web of organisms.
Observe how natural convection currents create miniature weather systems
Temperature differences drive the movement of air and water, shaping unique weather patterns within each habitat. See how these forces influence evaporation, condensation, and the distribution of resources within the system.
An ecosphere untouched by filters, pumps, or outside food
A closed world where life is sustained by the energy of light and the dynamics of temperature beyond its enclosure. This closed system serves as a living model of ecological self-sufficiency.
