- Last July, Howard Odum, the evironmental systems modeler, talked about modeling
- the O2 systems in Biosphere II. He included all of the sources and sinks, in-
- cluding the soil and rock minerals that would take up O2. He found that
- the O2 levels would drop to the present level. I surmised from what he said,
- that he didn't expect them to go lower, but models are fallable.
