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 1, French, - %C3%A9quilibre

When accumulation minus ablation, the net budget, is zero over a long period, the glacier is in a steady state, accumulating new snow in its upper reaches and constantly moving downslope to the lower reaches, where ablation takes place. 4, record 2, English, - steady%20state

The ice sheet is said to be in (dynamical) equilibrium if each column of ice gains as much as it loses. The mass balance integrated over the ice sheet must then be zero. The steady state concept is a theoretical concept, which will hardly ever be met because accumulation and ablation are highly variable on short time scales and the flow varies on much longer time scales. So only under a constant climate of say ten thousand years a real steady state will be reached. 2, record 2, English, - steady%20state
