In this paper, the biological survival rule is described, based on which the cause of the failure of Biosphere 2 is analysed at the structural level to find solutions to the existing problems and guide biological practices in the future. The main cause of the failure of Biosphere 2 was that species were not introduced in classes, in order and in a step-by-step manner and not in sufficient time. A solution for establishing a biosphere involves step-wisely introducing species in the following order: prokaryotes, eukaryotes, plants, animals, and humans. The future Mars ecological engineering project should also adopt the above rule and follow the biological survival rule, starting from introducing prokaryotes and then simple eukaryotes to reproduce the process of biological evolution on Earth, which can also be applied to Lunar bases and space station.
