Balance of Nature
The balance of nature is a theory suggesting that ecological systems are generally in a stable equilibrium. This concept has been largely discredited by modern ecological science, which recognizes that nature is often subject to chaotic and dynamic changes. Despite its scientific decline, the idea remains popular among conservationists and the general public.
