Ecological balance is an balance within a community where the organisms remain stable and the changes are slow and gradual. A ecological balance must be retained in order for species to thrive comfortably in their habitat. Removal of things like plants, animals, trees and other natural items can shift the balance. This shifting can lead to a loss of something. The loss may be something like lost vegetation or animals or an increase in pollution. .
