| ecodevelopment (1. Conservative development based on long term optimization of biosphere resources. 2. An approach to development through rational use of natural resources by means of appropriate technology and system of production which take into account and provide for the conservation of nature) | ekożvilupp | |
| ecolabel (A mark, seal or written identification attached or affixed to products that provides specific ecological information allowing consumers to make comparisons with other similar products, or instructions on how to safely use or properly recycle or dispose of both products and packaging) | ekotikketta | |
| ecolabelling (The European Community's initiative to encourage the promotion of environmentally friendly products. The scheme came into operation in late 1992 and was designed to identify products which are less harmful to the environment than equivalent brands. It was hoped that by buying labelled goods, consumers would be able to put pressure on manufacturers and retailers both to make and to stock "greener" products. This includes the effects they have on the environment at all stages. The labels are awarded on environmental criteria set by the EC) | ekottikkettar | |
| ecological abundance (Number of individual specimens of an animal or plant seen over a certain period of time in a certain place) | abbundanza ekoloġika | |
| ecological adaptation (Change in an organism so that it is better able to survive or reproduce, thereby contributing to its fitness) | addattament ekoloġiku | |
| ecological assessment (Ecological assessment consists in monitoring the current and changing conditions of ecological resources from which success or failure of the ecosystem can be judged without bias; understanding more fully the structure and function of ecosystems in order to develop improved management options; developing models to predict the response of ecosystems to changes resulting from human-induced stress from which possible ecosystem management strategies can be assessed and assessing the ecological consequences of management actions so that decisionmakers can best understand the outcomes of choosing a particular management strategy) | valutazzjoni ekoloġika | |
| ecological balance (The condition of equilibrium among the components of a natural community such that their relative numbers remain fairly constant and their ecosystem is stable. Gradual readjustments to the composition of a balanced community take place continually in response to natural ecological succession and to alterations in climatic and other influences) | bilanċ ekoloġiku | |
| ecological balance | bilanċ ekoloġiku | |
| ecological bookkeeping (The systematic accounting or recordkeeping of a company's impact on the environment or its progress towards environmentally sound business practices) | kontabilità ekoloġika | |

| ecological community (1. All of the plants and animals in an area or volume; a complex association usually containing both animals and plants. 2. Any naturally occurring group of organisms that occupy a common environment) | komunità ekoloġika | |

| ecological inequality (Any imbalance or disparity among inhabitants of the same living environment deemed inappropriate, unjust or detrimental to that environment's integrity) | inugwaljanza ekoloġika | |
| ecological niche (1. The space occupied by a species, which includes both the physical space as well as the functional role of the species. 2. Ecological niche refers to the characteristics of an environment that provides all the essential food and protection for the continued survival of a particular species of flora or fauna. In addition to food and shelter, there is no long-term threat to existence in that place from potential predators, parasites and competitors. The concept of the ecological niche goes a long way beyond the idea of the species habitat) | niċċa ekoloġika | |
| ecological niche | bijotopu | |
| ecological parameter (A variable, measurable property whose value is a determinant of the characteristics of an ecosystem) | parametru ekoloġiku | |

| ecologically sensitive area (Area where it is likely that a change in some parts of the system will produce a recognizable response) | żona ekoloġikament sensittiva |
