"ecological reality" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to the actual state of the environment and how it functions in relation to living organisms. Example: "The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible in the ecological reality, with rising sea levels and natural disasters occurring more frequently."
It is a narrative built on an outdated faith in our reach and our technology, and it is rubbing up hard against the buffers of ecological reality.
Eating farmed fish is a form of adaptation: we look at the ecological reality and need to feed a burgeoning population and switch to an imperfect solution.
But it's nothing like as absurd as the fact that there's not a single world leader prepared to give more than the most spurious consideration to our imminent collision with ecological reality.
How does a society generate the will and ability to tackle environmental problems at this scale when its community and institutional boundaries do not reflect ecological reality?
This paper proposes using an understanding of ecosystem services to determine measurable goals for urban regenerative design that are based on site specific ecological reality.
The fact that ecological reality in terms of auto-correlation often violates the assumption of inference statistical methods is of crucial importance for ecological sampling design, analysis and evaluation of field experiments and surveys [22, 24, 25].
This is because cities are nested in human and ecological realities which become even more complex in urban areas (Barau et al. 2013; Villamor et al. 2014).
Prevailing assumptions regarding biodiversity conservation in tropical agricultural wetlands require being revised, and a landscape-scale approach that incorporates ecological realities is needed.
But the practice can do more harm than good if conservationists aren't mindful of economic and ecological realities, researchers report in the 13 March issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Following that ruling, the Department of Interior finally went back to the drawing board and, on October 31, 2014, released a new draft supplemental environmental impact statement that acknowledged some of the ecological realities of drilling in Arctic seas.
As these ecological realities are often highly variable in space and time, it is not surprising that all organisms even plants—exhibit complex behaviours to handle this variability.
