Ecosystem engineering involves organisms that create, modify, or maintain habitats, directly influencing resource availability for other species.

This natural process is harnessed in ecological restoration and conservation to boost biodiversity, stabilize soils, and improve water quality. Ultimately, entire ecosystems, including humans, benefit from enhanced resilience and ecosystem services.
