Frank Lloyd Wright’s beloved winter home is deeply connected to the desert, and is considered one of the most personal of the architect’s creation. The Arizona desert is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers, and one of the best places to experience this awesome variety is at the Desert Botanical Garden. ARIZONA Over 50,000 are displayed here, including hundreds of endangered species. Tonight, we enjoy dinner at Rustler’s Rooste, situated atop a butte of South Mountain.

This change in plant types can influence the function of soil microbial communities with unknown consequences for soil carbon cycling and storage. We used soils collected from a five-year passive warming experiment in Southern, AZ to test the effects of warming and substrate availability on microbial carbon use. We hypothesized that substrate addition would increase the diversity of microbial substrate use, and that substrate additions and warming would increase carbon acquisition, creating a positive feedback on carbon mineralization. Community Level Physiological Profiling (CLPP) of microbial activity was conducted using Biolog EcoPlateTMassays from soils collected in July 2018, one week after the start of monsoon rains. Two soil types common to Southern AZ, were amended with one of four treatments (surface juniper wood chips, juniper wood chips incorporated into the soil, surface biochar, or a no-amendment control) and were randomly assigned to a warmed or ambient temperature treatment. We found that surface wood chips resulted in the highest richness and diversity of carbon substrate use with control soils yielding the lowest. Substrate use was positively correlated with the total organic carbon but not with warming.

  • Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars Green Fund Proposal, January 2016 Kevin Bonine, Director of Education & Outreach, Biosphere 2 [email protected] 520-621-0232
    Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars Green Fund Proposal, January 2016 Kevin Bonine, Director of Education & Outreach, Biosphere 2 [email protected] 520-621-0232 Poster symposium & certificate ceremony at Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy. Note young students in blue shirts presenting their results and proud UA student Outreach Scholars in red shirts. PROPOSAL OVERVIEW Abstract Biosphere 2 Outreach Scholars are the reason the Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy has been so successful in its first two years. By supporting these UA students, who serve as role-models and mentors for 80-90 middle and high school students, we are taking an important step in providing the educational base necessary for sustainable, evidence-based decisions in all facets of society. UA students will apply to be chosen as Green Fund–supported Outreach Scholars, receive intensive training and a $1,000 stipend for their time in residence at Biosphere 2 in summer 2016, and become better able to navigate the important intersection where science and education meet. This intersection is how sustainability can be realistically pursued and achieved in the future. The UA Green Fund Outreach Scholars will facilitate research experiences, collaboration skills, and leadership development of middle and high school students. Along the way, the scholars will expand their knowledge and capacity in these areas and perhaps pursue scientist-educator as a career path or be inspired to put their scientific training toward solving society’s grand challenges. Project Narrative “It was the most amazing week of my life.” -Biosphere 2 Summer Science Academy Participant The key to a sustainable future is effective education and evidence-based decision making.

    Biological Sciences in Space, Vol.19 No.4 (2005): 250-260 © 2005 Jpn. Soc. Biol. Sci. Space Lessons Learned from Biosphere 2 and Laboratory Biosphere Closed Systems Experiments for the Mars On Earth® Project Abigail Alling1, Mark Van Thillo1, William Dempster2, Mark Nelson3, Sally Silverstone1, John Allen2 1Biosphere Foundation, P.O. Box 201 Pacific Palisades, CA 90272 USA 2Biospheric Design (a division of Global Ecotechnics) 1 Bluebird Court, Santa Fe, NM 87508 USA 3Institute of Ecotechnics, 24 Old Gloucester St., London WC1 U.K. Abstract Mars On Earth® (MOE) is a demonstration/research project that will develop systems for maintaining 4 people in a sustainable (bioregenerative) life support system on Mars. The overall design will address not only the functional requirements for maintaining long term human habitation in a sustainable artificial environment, but the aesthetic need for beauty and nutritional/psychological importance of a diversity of foods which has been noticeably lacking in most space settlement designs. Key features selected for the Mars On Earth® life support system build on the experience of operating Biosphere 2 as a closed ecological system facility from 1991-1994, its smaller 400 cubic meter test module and Laboratory Biosphere, a cylindrical steel chamber with horizontal axis 3.68 meters long and 3.65 meters in diameter. Future Mars On Earth® agriculture/atmospheric research will include: determining optimal light levels for growth of a variety of crops, energy trade-offs for agriculture (e.g. light intensity vs. required area), optimal design of soil-based agriculture/horticulture systems, strategies for safe re-use of human waste products, and maintaining atmospheric balance between people, plants and soils.

    Crowning the Queen of the Sonoran Desert: Tucson and Saguaro National Park An Administrative History Marcus Burtner University of Arizona 2011 Figure 1. Copper Pamphlet produced by Tucson Chamber of Commerce, SAGU257, Box 1, Folder 11, WACC. “In a canon near the deserted mission of Cocospera, Cereus giganteus was first met with. The first specimen brought the whole party to a halt. Standing alone upon a rocky projection, it rose in a single unbranched column to the height of some thirty feet, and formed a sight which seemed almost worth the journey to behold. Advancing into the canon, specimens became more numerous, until at length the whole vegetation was, in places, made up of this and other Cacaceae. Description can convey no adequate idea of this singular vegetation, at once so grand and dreary. The Opuntia arborescens and Cereus Thurberi, which had before been regarded with wonder, now seemed insignificant in comparison with the giant Cactus which towered far above.” George Thurber, 1855, Boundary Commission Report.1 Table of Contents 1 Asa Gray, ―Plantae Novae Thurberianae: The Characters of Some New Genera and Species of Plants in a Collection Made by George Thurber, Esq., of the Late Mexican Boundary ii List of Illustrations v List of Maps ix Introduction Crowning the Queen of the Desert 1 The Question of Social Value and Intrinsically Valuable Landscapes Two Districts with a Shared History Chapter 1 Uncertain Pathways to a Saguaro National Monument, 1912-1933 9 Saguaros and the Sonoran Desert A Forest of Saguaros Discovering

  • Virtual Field Trips
    Virtual Field Trips We worked with Arizona teachers to develop a tour that meets educational goals, all the while ensuring stops along the way for the students to have a good time. Learning and laughter make field trips memorable for schoolchildren and that is our commitment to Arizona schools. To schedule a virtual trip, visit here. Explore the mystery and complexity of an extended network of communities and irrigation canals. An Ancestral Sonoran Desert People's farming community and "Great House" are preserved at Casa Grande Ruins. Whether the Casa Grande was a gathering place for the Desert People or simply a waypoint marker in an extensive system of canals and trading partners is but part of the mystique of the Ruins. For virtual trips, visit here. The iconic design of Biosphere 2 offers tremendous opportunities for research in earth and ecological sciences. The striking 3-acre physical structure is paired with a unique approach to education and outreach that is intimately linked with cutting- edge research activities. Visitors to Biosphere 2 can see science in action, interact with university research, and have hands-on experiences with earth-systems science. To take a virtual trip, visit here. The rocks of Picacho Peak have seen the passing of prehistoric humans, Spanish explorers, gold miners on their way West, Mormon soldiers, and, most notably, Civil War combatants. On April 15, 1862, Union and Confederate troops clashed in the Battle of Picacho Pass, the only Civil War battle in Arizona and the westernmost battle in the war. Picacho Peak is part of an eroded volcanic flow and is famous for its spring wildflower display, mostly Mexican poppies.
