• SynonymネイチャーNeutralLoanword for nature, common in magazine titles and outdoor contexts such as 「ネイチャーガイド」; unlike 「大自然」, it does not stress nature's grandeur or carry awe.
• Synonym自然界しぜんかいNeutralObjective, academic term for the natural world, free of emotional coloring; 「大自然」 instead evokes nature's grandeur with awe.
• Antonym人工じんこうNeutralHuman-made or artificial work; stands opposite the natural 「大自然」.

Use 「大自然」 for nature felt as vast and awe-inspiring, as in 「大自然の恵み」 or 「大自然の猛威」. For an academic tone pick 「自然界」, and 「ネイチャー」 for loanword contexts like outdoor activities; the opposite pole is 「人工」.
