The following summary of results from the first 2-year closure experiment (September 26, 1991 to September 26, 1993) in Biosphere 2 is excerpted from a chapter written by William Dempster and myself for a book, Strategies for Mars, edited by Carol Stoker and Carter Emmart of NASA Ames Research Center. The book will be published later this year by Krieger Publishers. It brings together a number of the most striking initial results, including food production and nutrition; ecosystem changes; oxygen and carbon dioxide dynamics; and the human role and response to living in a small, recycling life support system. The references cited are useful as a guide to currently available articles in journals. Hopefully, the next year will see a proliferation of papers presenting more data from the first 2 years of Biosphere 2's operation. There was a wealth of data collected during the closure and by teams of researchers who had access to the facility during the 5-month transition period following the departure of the first crew and the commencement of the second closure experiment in March, 1994.
以下关于生物圈2号首次两年封闭实验（1991年9月26日至1993年9月26日）结果的总结，摘自威廉·登普斯特和我为一本书撰写的章节，该书由美国国家航空航天局艾姆斯研究中心的卡罗尔·斯托克和卡特·埃马特编辑，书名为《火星探索策略》。这本书将于今年晚些时候由克里格出版社出版。它汇集了一些最引人注目的初步成果，包括食物生产与营养、生态系统变化、氧气和二氧化碳动态，以及人类在小型循环生命支持系统中的角色和反应。所引用的参考文献可作为查找期刊上现有文章的指南。希望明年会有大量论文发表，呈现更多来自生物圈2号运行头两年的数据。在封闭期间以及1994年3月第一批乘员离开后、第二批封闭实验开始前的5个月过渡期内，有研究团队进入该设施，期间收集了大量数据。
