Temporary dead zones are short lived dead zones lasting hours or days. Seasonal dead zones are annually occurring, typically in warm months of summer and autumn. Diel cycling hypoxia is a specific seasonal dead zone that only becomes hypoxic during the night
Ecological death is the inability of an organism to function in an ecological context, leading to death. [1] This term can be used in many fields of biology to describe any species .

An ecoregion (ecological region) is an ecologically and geographically defined area that is smaller than a bioregion, which in turn is smaller than a biogeographic realm.
Ecology overlaps with the closely related sciences of biogeography, evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, and natural history. Ecology is a branch of biology, and is the study of abundance, biomass, and distribution of organisms in the context of the environment.
