In regards to the comments about Silent Running:

60-90% of the oxygen-producing plants on Earth are plankton and algae in
the oceans.  The loss of the land-bound plants would be a severe strain on
the ecosystem, but not totally devastating.

Personally, I enjoyed Silent Running, but I feel that it had some
weaknesses that have been explored. I did not think it was totally
unrealistic.
