ecologic
Concerning natural systems
Ecologic means relating to ecology—the study of organisms and their environments.
It functions as a variant of ecological, though ecological is far more common in both scientific and general usage: ecologic factors, ecologic balance.
The two forms are interchangeable, but ecological has become the standard choice.
