Hemeroby, or hemerochora is a term used in botanical and ecological sciences. It is often associated to naturalness as the complementary term,^[1] with a high degree of hemeroby equating to a high human influence on a natural environment.^[2] However, the two terms are not inversely related.^[3]

The term is derived from the Greek hémeros and bíos. The word hemero-, hemer- means tame, cultivated. Bios is life. Hemeroby literally means "tamed life".
