BIOMATRIX WATER


Biomatrix Floating Ecosystems are artificial floating substrate modules which replicate the ecological function  of riperian wetland. There are three tiers of habitat:

Pollinator level - where leafs, flowers, pollinating insects and the airborn elements co-mingle.

Substrate level - a contoured system of moisture wicking plant lanes lined with organic bedding where roots can take hold.   

Subsurface Level - where a forest of roots make an ideal habitat for microorganisms and  bacteria that feed off any polutants in the waterway, simultaneously helping to revitalise the water and attract larger species that will feed off them. 
 
In this way Biomatrix floating islands enable multi species - interconnected ecosystems to be established for biodiversity and water regeneration in the city. 

We are engaged in many other ecological engineering endeavours but floating eco systems are our bread and butter. Have a look on our website if you are interested in finding out more.
