Build Robust Ecosystem Testbeds (Closed & Open)
Create well-designed testbeds that simulate key ecosystems, allowing for controlled experimentation and development of restoration strategies.
Develop experimental testbeds that simulate closed ecosystems, allowing for controlled experimentation and refinement of life-support strategies.

R&D Gaps (1)
Regenerating degraded environments and designing self-sustaining systems require a unified understanding of ecological dynamics. Our current models fall short in predicting complex interactions—such as feedback loops and stability thresholds—that determine ecosystem behavior.
To close this gap, we...
