The Biosphere 2 project was created as a research tool for scientists to study the Earth's living systems. From 1991 to 1993, 8 volunteers sealed themselves from the outside world in this Biosphere bubble. It is remembered as a failure. In the Biosphere 2, they had trees growing faster than they would in the wild. However, they found that these trees wouldn't completely mature. Before they could, they used to collapse. Later it was found that this was caused by the lack of wind in the biosphere. The presence of wind makes a tree stronger, it is thus able to mature and not fall down due to its own weight.
Biosphere 2
An enclosed region
Tried to recreate
The Garden of Eden
Trees grew quick
But never matured
A failed experiment
That never endured
Weak trees enclosed
Leaves had thinned
Trees with no strength
Because they had no wind
Protected in a bubble
Brought an end not good
Beautiful but not strong
Developed no stress wood
We deal with contrary winds
Adversity that seems wrong
But don't forget its purpose
Its purpose to make you strong
At Biosphere 2
In all their pursuits
They had beautiful trees
Yet with shallow roots
We go through valleys
We go through trials
Some can be long
And go on for miles
But roots are developed
When the wind blows
Through those blistering gusts
The weak tree grows
Making you stronger
Is God's master plan
And in that wind
Is where strength began
