Bioengineered Ecosystem Civilizations

Bioengineered ecosystem civilizations are one of the most sophisticated models in alien-civilization theory: societies that do not merely manage nature, but actively design living systems as infrastructure. Drawing on ecological engineering, closed-loop habitat research, synthetic biology, Biosphere-era experimentation, and planetary stewardship concepts, the model explores civilizations whose environments are neither fully natural nor purely mechanical, but deliberately alive.
