- E.V. Komarek Fire Ecology Database - Large bibliography covering applications of prescribed burning, control of wildfires, and other topics in fire ecology. International in scope with emphasis on North America.
- Tall Timbers Research Station - Conducts research aimed at providing practical solutions to land management problems, and to provide basic insights into how southern pine forests function as dynamic ecosystems. Site includes the E.V. Komarek Fire Ecology Database online. Located in Northern Florida and Southern Georgia.
- BioGIS - Israel Biodiversity Information System (BioGIS) is a geographical information system established to create a national database of the flora and fauna of Israel. The system is open to the public and provides advanced tools for querying, analyzing, modeling, and visualizing patterns of species distribution.

- Ecological deficit - Ecological Deficit is the level of resource consumption and waste discharge by a population in excess of locally sustainable natural production and assimilative capacity. In spatial terms, the ecological deficit is the difference between that population's effective ecological footprint and the geographic area it actually occupies.
- Ecological genetics - Ecological genetics is the study of genetics on an ecological scale. While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics (and the related field of population genetics) studies phenotypic evolution in natural populations of organisms.
- Important Ecological Areas - Important Ecological Areas (IEAs) are habitat areas which, either by themselves or in a network, contribute significantly to an ecosystem’s productivity, biodiversity, and resilience. Appropriate management of key ecological features delineates the management boundaries of an Important Ecological Area.
- Ecological energetics - Ecological energetics is the quantitative study of the flow of energy through ecological systems. It aims to uncover the principles which describe the propensity of such energy flows through the trophic, or 'energy availing' levels of ecological networks.
- Ecological land classification - Ecological land classification is defined as being a cartographical delineation of distinct ecological areas, identified by their geology, topography, soils, vegetation, climate conditions, living species, water resources, as well as anthropic factors. These factors are known to control or influence biotic composition and ecological processes.
