With its hundreds of plants and animals, it is the largest ecosystem in the Montréal Biodôme. To reproduce as closely as possible the natural environment of this ecosystem, artificial lighting makes it possible to adjust the length of the day and the intensity of light in order to mimic that of the rainforest throughout the year.
An oasis in the heart of the city of Montreal, the Biodôme offers an immersive visit through five ecosystems of the Americas where animals and plants can be observed. It is one of the few places in the world to reproduce so faithfully the complexity of the natural environment and the interactions between animal and plant species.

A sobriety that contrasts deliberately with the living and colourful ecosystems that await.

And to make the experience even more immersive, accessing the ecosystems engages all of your senses, one by one ...
Apr 25, 2020 · There are different reasons for storing energy. The reason why the plants and animals in the biodome have enough energy storage molecules is because there was not enough carbon in abiotic matter. Producers are known to create all of the energy storage molecules needed in an ecosystem via photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide is used ...

From 1990 to 1994, there were two Biosphere 2 missions involving a group of scientists assigned to live completely sealed off from the outside world except for communication. In the first mission, the team lived for two years inside the bio-dome. The air they breathed, the water they drank, the food they ate, all had to come from Biosphere 2.
