| økologisk balanse | eco-balance (An eco-balance refers to the consumption of energy and resources and the pollution caused by the production cycle of a given product. The product is followed throughout its entire life cycle, from the extraction of the raw materials, manufacturing and use, right through to recycling and final handling of waste) | |
| økologisk balanse | 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) | |
| økologisk bestandsanalyse | ecological stocktaking (Taking stock of, evaluating, or inventorying a company's impact on the environment or its progress towards environmentally sound business practices) | |
| økologisk faktor | ecological factor (An environmental factor that, under some definite conditions, can exert appreciable influence on organisms or their communities, causing the increase or decrease in the number of organisms and/or changes in the communities) | |

| økologisk nisje | 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.
