{wiki=Closed_ecological_system}
A closed ecological system is a self-contained, self-sustaining environment that can support life without exchanging materials with the outside environment.

In a closed ecological system, the interactions between organisms and their environment mimic the natural processes found in ecosystems on Earth, including photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.
