1. ecological

   Ecology (from Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos) 'house', and -λογία (-logía) 'study of') is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. Ecology considers organisms at the individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere level. Ecology overlaps with the closely related sciences of biogeography, evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, and natural history. Ecology is a branch of biology, and it is not synonymous with environmentalism.

   Ecological refers to anything related to the science of ecology - the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment. It concerns systems, processes, patterns, and relationships in nature, dealing with how different elements in ecosystems interact, impact each other, and contribute to the overall health and functionality of the environment as a whole. Ecological can also refer to initiatives, principles or actions that consider and respect this balance and seek to minimize harm to the environment, often associated with sustainability and conservation efforts.

Examples of ecological in a Sentence

1. Samantha Leigh:

   In an ecological context, we also need to evaluate the role that this highly abundant shark plays in crucial and fragile seagrass meadow ecosystems so that we can be sure to effective manage these habitats.

2. Frank Gersdorf:

   In such an ecological system like the one here and with the background that climate is changing, I cannot understand why another location was not selected from the beginning.

3. Mark Bailey:

   A sense of ecological literacy is as important to our existence as a species as text-based literacy.

4. Jeffrey Lewis:

   The Russianleader claimed the nuclear-powered cruise missilehad an unlimited range, flew at a high speed and was capable of maneuverability that would allowit topierce any missile defense. One of the worlds most respected missile experts, Director of East Asia Nonproliferation Program Jeffrey Lewis, said Tuesday the U.S. tried to develop a similarly powered cruise missile in the 1950s and 60s but abandoned the project because it didnt make sense to put a nuclear reactor inside a missile. It was a technological nightmare and an ecological hazard, Jeffrey Lewis told Fox News. This is not a technology that I think makes a lot of sense for the United States. For whatever reason, the Russians have a different sense, maybe because they treat environmentalists differently than we do in the United States.

5. Beth Lowell:

   Americans might love salmon, but as our study reveals, they may be falling victim to a bait and switch, when consumers opt for wild-caught U.S. salmon, they don’t expect to get a farmed or lower-value product of questionable origins. This type of Seafood Fraud can have serious ecological and economic consequences. Not only are consumers getting ripped off, but responsible U.S. fishermen are being cheated when fraudulent products lower the price for their hard-won catch.
