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 7, French, - %C3%A9quilibre

Le bruit est évoqué dans le dossier de projet mais uniquement dans les zones habitées, cependant le bruit d’une voie express pénalise la qualité environnementale d’un site naturel et il porte loin à l'intérieur d’une forêt. Le massif de la forêt de Retz est présenté dans certains documents de l'ONF, à juste titre, comme une zone de silence. Il convient de traiter ce problème, y compris en zone forestière. Il faudrait envisager des haies vives ou des buttes tampons le long de la voie express qui auraient pour double rôle de réduire la nuisance sonore mais aussi de limiter les accès «forêt-voie express». 2, record 10, French, - zone%20de%20silence
