The term in English	The term in Russian	The term in the Estonian	The term in Finnish	Term article
Recruitment	Пополнение, воспроизводство	Populatsiooni kasv	Rekrytointi	The influx of new members into a population by either reproduction or immigration.
Red algae (Rhodophyta)	Красные водоросли (багрянки)	Punavetikad	Punalevät	A macroscopic algal group.
Reed	Тростник	Pilliroog	Järviruoko	Phragmites australis. (Common) reed is a large perennial grass found in wetlands throughout temperate and tropical regions of the world.
Reed belt	Заросли (пояс) тростника	Pilliroostik	Ruovikko	Thicket of Phragmites australis.
Reef	Риф	Riff, kari	Riutta	(1) Rock (including coral limestone and other rock types) lying at or near the sea surface that may constitute hazard for surface navigation. One of EU’s Habitats Directive underwater habitats, supporting high macroscopic biodiversity. (2) Reefs can be either biogenic concretions or of geogenic origin. They are hard compact substrata on solid and soft bottoms, which arise from the sea floor in the sublittoral and littoral zone. Reefs may support a zonation of benthic communities of algae and animal species as well as concretions and corallogenic concretions.

Relaxation time	Акклимация	Kohanemisperiood	Sopeutumisaika	The time required for species and populations to adjust to changed environmental conditions.
Relict	Реликтовые отложения	Relikt, jäänuk	Relikti, Jäänne	Sediments that were originally deposited under different environmental conditions than those occurring today. See also Palimpsest. Relict refers also to an organism that at an earlier time was abundant in a large area but now occurs at only one or a few small restricted areas.
Resilience	Упругость, эластичность, способность к восстановлению после воздействия	Vastupidavus, elastsus	Sietokyky, kestävyys	The level of disturbance that an ecosystem can undergo without crossing a threshold to a situation with different structure or outputs. Resilience depends on ecological dynamics as well as the organizational and institutional capacity to understand, manage, and respond to these dynamics.
Resistance	Устойчивость	Vastupanu, vastupidavus	Vastustuskyky	The capacity of an ecosystem to withstand the impacts of drivers without displacement from its present state.
Responses	Ответные меры, реакция	Reageering, vastukaja	Vaste	Human actions, including policies, strategies, and interventions, to address specific issues, needs, opportunities, or problems. In the context of ecosystem management, responses may be of legal, technical, institutional, economic, and behavioral nature and may operate at various spatial and time scales.
