Micro landschaft

A Japanese bonsai arrangement may be called a micro landschaft

A micro landschaft, also microlandschaft, is an Anglicized loanword portmanteau of micro(scopic) (Greek mikrós, small) and landschaft (German for landscape), 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 (or formicaria), small reptile habitats and even small aquariums (often with a single betta, koi or goldfish). In contrast to natural terms like microclimates or small, naturally occurring ecosystems, micro landschaft applies to man-made objects and habitats.
