Biosphere 2 is a large, atmospherically closed system which has enclosed several ecosystems (originally termed biomes) to aid in balancing gas cycles, maintain air quality and for public education and ecological research (Allen, 1991, Nelson et al., 1993). The mangrove mesocosm within Biosphere 2...
