Processus par lequel les populations des diverses espèces constituant un peuplement ou une communauté, [dans une région et sous un climat déterminé,] ne présentent pas d'importantes fluctuations de leurs effectifs dans le temps.

L'équilibre est une notion clé de l'écologie. Une forêt, un sol qui se dégradent, un lac en cours d'eutrophisation, un fleuve qui se réchauffe, l'atmosphère dans laquelle la teneur en oxygène diminue ou dans laquelle le taux de gaz carbonique augmente, une faune à l'intérieur de laquelle une espèce se met brusquement à pulluler ne sont plus en équilibre. Tout équilibre naturel n'exclut pas les variations, mais il y a équilibre dans tous les cas d'autorégulation, ou encore de rétroaction négative, autrement dit lorsque le changement produit lui-même ce qui l'arrêtera, ou même ce qui rétablira l'état antérieur. 9, record 3, French, - %C3%A9quilibre

The smallest landscape unit in the ecological holarchy... of concrete systems is the ecotope, while the largest system is the ecosphere that embraces all biological and technological ecosystems. Therefore, the environment which learners of EE course directly observe is usually an ecotope which is the smallest holistic land unit.... According to Naveh..., an important thing is that the ecotope has two extreme types : one is the "biotope"(a term redefined by me for this context) or ecotope of bioecosystem that is maintained by the input of solar energy, natural biotic and abiotic resource materials; and the other is the "technotope"(a term proposed by me) or ecotope of technoecosystem that is constructed and maintained by man's input of energy and material and is regulated by man. 2, record 4, English, - ecotope
