Description
Brian Silliman and a large team of co-authors lay out ecosystem technology, or ecotech, in a paper dated twenty twenty-six. Biotechnology spent eighty years working from the organism inward, down to molecules. Today's crises, from species loss to climate change, need tools that work outward instead.
Ecotech joins ecology, engineering, and earth science into one frame. It aims to speed nature repair, carbon storage, cleaner water, and tougher infrastructure. New fields such as ecomimicry and ecosystem materials sit under its wing. The authors cast it as a meeting point that turns scattered methods into shared practice.
