In this project we made a mini ecosystem to see the cycles of nature such as a cycle of nutrients and carbon exchange... I did not work all we saw were some plants growing a little we were also unable to have animals inside the terrarium.The objective of this project is to see how an ecosystem sustains itself in an enclosed system. We built a small ecosystem in a container and took care of it to see what would happen here is our hypothesis.
Hypothesis:The small shade loving plants will receive shade from the larger plants and this will keep the small plants moist. We will take care of the larger plants manually.
