Abstract

The main aim of this project is to explain, through scientific research, nature’s forms or the various activities in organisms and the hidden entities behind them by observing and controlling the biodiversity of different environments. The fauna and flora of the vivarium are dependent on each other. Decomposers live in the mud and aid in decomposition. It also has direct application in the field of education. Through this, the teacher can give his students an idea about the ecosystem. Students are also encouraged to create their vivariums and collect different plants for them. Saving it is more difficult than building a vivarium. And while doing this, we have to control everything from the nitrogen cycle to the pH value of water. At the same time, we have to control airflow, bacteria, fertilizer, macrophytes, temperature, humidity, light, lighting hour, soil, sand, etc. If the quality of any one of its elements is slightly reduced or decreased, then the whole ecosystem is affected. A vivarium owner must be nature-loving, careful, affectionate, sensitive, and caring. It teaches us that bacteria are of particular importance in the vivarium. Inert elements include water, light, carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), calcium (Ca),
phosphorus (P), etc. By controlling any one of these components of an ecosystem, the entire biodiversity can be controlled. Nothing can be better than this to directly understand biodiversity. Research on plants and various animals is required to enjoy the beauty of nature.
