Bioterraformation: Emergent Function from Systemic Eco-Engineering
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering desired ecosystem functions via the precise design of biotic and abiotic components is one of the most challenging but essential elements for climate regulation and Earth survivability. The special topic aims to gather research studies that disrupt the current status quo of eco-development and -protection and look into habitat creation (particularly self-emergent habitats) via eco-engineer species, coordinated infrastructures, and hydrologic flows. In particular, the issue targets studies where ecohydrogeomorphology is the key element to engineering ecosystem services based on ecological structures, such as water filtration, sediment regulation, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity enhancement (among others). Specific studies, studies on systemic risk and design, and metanalysis are all welcome.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
