indirect ecological effect

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14757
  1. Effect resulting from imposed biotic or abiotic factors which alter ecosystem properties that in turn favor or disfavor an ecological component of importance (e.g., a species) and thus indirectly lead to improved or reduced fitness of that species.
  2. Result of imposed biotic or abiotic factors allowing indigenous or new species to dominate, thereby affecting ecosystem composition.
