Self-Sustaining Ecosystem 
Self-Sustaining Ecosystem
Ecosystems are composed of a variety of biotic and abiotic factors that function in an interrelated fashion. In this assignment you will demonstrate your understanding of the exchange of energy and matter within the biosphere by designing and building your own ecosystem. Essentially you are creating a biosphere in a bottle that will be closed off and self sustaining. This project is to be done in groups of 2.
