From rainforest to savannah, roaring ocean to desert, with tropical flowers, giant breathing lungs, two acre basement containing miles of tubing, high and low pressure wind area and so much more . . . Biosphere 2 was indeed a fascinating stop on our three day tour of SE Arizona. Full of facts and statistics. "A conceptual and engineering marvel, it was created to study ecosystem processes under controlled conditions, but at large scales."
We even checked out the gift shop to see if they might want to stock Tastes and Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona.
