context_page_description: A micro landschaft, also microlandschaft, is an Anglicized loanword portmanteau of micro and landschaft, lit. "small landscape". English synonyms include aquariums, terrariums, bonsai cultivation, and even small gardens, pools, etc. In the Americas, the term is generally used to describe a variety of terrariums and small planters, whereas in China, Europe and Japan it also is more generally applied to include hanging aquatic planters, ant farms, small reptile habitats and even small aquariums. In contrast to natural terms like microclimates or small, naturally occurring ecosystems, micro landschaft applies to man-made objects and habitats.
