The concept of the gravitational force, the concept of the electromagnetic force and ...

Can one replace this list with:

"the concepts of the forces of nature"; "the notions of the forces of nature"; "the ideas of the forces of nature"? Would these phrases be comprehensible and natural?

Technically, gravitation and electromagnetic forces are the basis for the way our world/nature functions. However, my understanding of natural forces are the phenomena such as...Tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, etc. Even though all those forces are intertwined with gravity and electromagnetism, I would think they refer to laws of physics more than forces of nature.

Well, that's another debate, but it doesn't change much as far as grammar is concerned.
How about:
The concepts of physical forces
The notions of physical forces
The ideas of physical forces

Or:
The concepts of natural phenomena
The concepts of natural forces (whatever they may be)

One could imagine other examples:

He tried to explain our behavior by using the concepts of our various instincts.
He tried to explain our history by using the concepts of social forces.

Grammatically it's OK but I don't think it's sounds right. I think you'd usually discuss one concept/notion/idea at a time. Unless you are specifically mentioning in a sentence that there are many concepts/ideas/notions in natural forces.
