siirtymäekosysteemit
Siirtymäekosysteemit, also known as transition ecosystems, are ecological areas that exist between two distinct, more stable ecosystems. They represent a gradient or zone where characteristics of both bordering environments gradually blend and intermingle. These transitional areas are often dynamic and can be influenced by the conditions of both adjacent ecosystems, as well as their own unique environmental factors. Examples include ecotones between forests and grasslands, or between freshwater and marine environments.
The species composition and abundance in a siirtymäekosysteemi are typically distinct from those found in the
Siirtymäekosysteemit play a crucial role in landscape connectivity and ecological processes. They can facilitate the movement
