Ecosynthesis is the use of introduced species to fill niches in a disrupted environment, with the aim of increasing the speed of ecological restoration. This decreases the amount of physical damage done in a disrupted landscape.

An example is the value of willow (Salix albaXfragilis) in a Victorian stream corridor for beneficial sediment and phosphorus capture.[citation needed] This use of non-indigenous species can be construed as 'heretical' in relation to official policy.[citation needed]
