The phrase "ecological equilibrium" is correct and commonly used in written English.
It refers to the balance of natural systems and the interactions between organisms and their environment. Example: Human activity has disrupted the ecological equilibrium in this area, causing a decline in biodiversity and an increase in pollution.
The Everglades, a 1.5m-acre estuary of delicate and shifting ecological equilibrium, has been uniquely affected by climate change.
These predators and scavengers are vital in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of the areas that they inhabit.
They say they do not seek a larger use of natural resources, but a saner one that respects ecological equilibrium.
It required all countries to designate at least one protected wetland area, and it recognized the important role of wetlands in maintaining the ecological equilibrium.
Some biomes, characterised by a dominant vegetation, have already lost large areas because of intensive agriculture − the cerrado has lost 47% and the caatinga 44% − and it is now questionable whether their ecological equilibrium can be restored.
This complex system remains in a healthy state if the system can maintain the ecological equilibrium among its components.
Rather than ecological concepts on equilibrium or non-equilibrium dynamics, concepts like risk aversion, diversification, management adaptability, resilience, robustness and sustainability (Accatino et al. 2014; Quaas et al. 2007; Robinson et al. 2015) might be more relevant in these de facto managed systems.
It formed part of a broader personal philosophy that Mr. Naess called ecosophy T, "a philosophy of ecological harmony or equilibrium" that human beings can comprehend by expanding their narrow concept of self to embrace the entire planetary ecosystem.
Given the relative proportionality of latitudinal distribution among the continents, the ecological theory of equilibrium leads us to expect that human cultural groups like language communities, by analogy, with the populations or species of non-human taxa, should be proportional with the total human geographical range, namely, all continents but Antarctica.
Despite a rich body of literature on non-equilibrium ecological dynamics, we lack a well-developed set of predictions that can relate the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of natural systems to their underlying ecological processes.
We close by emphasizing the importance of ecosystem function as a key component of a non-equilibrium ecological theory, and of spatial synchrony as a central phenomenon for its inference in natural systems.
