Preferred term

ecological redundancy  

Definition

  • ECOLOGICAL REDUNDANCY REFERS to the concept that natural environments may contain more than one species of flora and fauna capable of performing various required ecological functions, not all of which are immediately obvious. Consequently, one of the important issues involved in restoring or managing ecosystems is to document all involved organisms and attempt to understand their ecological functions.
