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 2, French, - %C3%A9quilibre
