A symbiotic microbe colony on the roots metabolizes airborne VOCs (volatile organic compounds).<br /> 2. &#039;&#039;&#039;Water Filtration:&#039;&#039;&#039; The wall is fed with nutrient-rich water from the [[Aquaponics System (Maria)|aquaponics system]]. The plants consume the nitrates, &quot;phytoremediating&quot; the water before it is returned to the fish.<br /> 3. &#039;&#039;&#039;Dynamic Maintenance:&#039;&#039;&#039; The system is managed using [[Integrated Pest Management (Maria)|biological pest control]] (e.g., predatory mites) to create a self-regulating ecosystem.<br /> 4. &#039;&#039;&#039;Lighting:&#039;&#039;&#039; It is lit passively by the [[North-Facing Roof Monitor (Isidore)|roof monitors]] and supplemented by LEDs powered by the [[Stirling Engine Array (Isidore)|Stirling engines]] at night.</div>
