- Anaerobic respiration, cellular respiration without oxygen
- Aquatic respiration, the process of animals extracting oxygen from water
- Carbon respiration, a concept used in calculating carbon (as CO2) flux occurring in the atmosphere
- Ecosystem respiration, measure of gross carbon dioxide production by all organisms in an ecosystem
- Root respiration, exchange of gases between plant roots and the atmosphere
