övergångsområde
Övergångsområde, often translated as transition zone or ecotone, refers to a spatial area where two ecological communities or habitats meet and overlap. This zone is characterized by a mixture of species and environmental conditions from both adjacent communities, as well as potentially unique species that thrive specifically in these transitional environments. The size and distinctness of an övergångsområde can vary significantly depending on the scale of the interacting ecosystems.
These areas are important ecological interfaces. They often exhibit higher biodiversity than the surrounding, more homogenous
Examples of övergångsområden include the edge where a forest meets a grassland, the intertidal zone where land
