Assuming you mean reduce the word-count and that your readership will be science-aware:
Carbon Cycle: A combination of photosynthesis, decomposition and respiration enabling carbon to circulate around the atmosphere, oceans and living organisms.
Carrying capacity: The maximum payload of a vehicle or receptacle.
Cellular respiration: The metabolic processes whereby living cells produce energy by oxidizing organic substances.
Consumer: An organism that feeds on other organisms or organic matter. (Does it need generally?)
Dependent variable: The change that occurs and is measured in an experiment.
Ecological niche: An organism’s specific location in its community and environment.
Ecosystem: An ecological community and environment as a functioning unit.
