Abstract:

Several plans for the ecopoeisis and terraformation of Mars have been speculated upon over the past several years. However, most of these proposals tend to treat the biological processes involved as a “black box” without specific detail to organisms and ecosystems. This paper’s purpose is to provide a very basic outline of the processes needed for a viable Martian community and to provide direction for further research necessary to predict the compatibility of terrestrial life with Mars’ environment, present or modified.
