Abstract

In order to obtain basic data for construction of a plant cultivation system incorporating a mushroom cultivation subsystem in the CELSS, plant growth and atmospheric CO 2 balance in the system were investigated. The plant growth was promoted by a high level of CO 2 which resulted from the respiration of the mushroom mycelium in the system. The atmospheric CO 2 concentration inside the system changed significantly due to the slight change in the net photosynthetic rate of plants and/or the respiration rate of the mushroom when the plant cultivation system combined directly with the mushroom cultivation subsystem.
