üleminekualad
Üleminekualad, often translated as transition zones or ecotones, are areas where two or more distinct ecosystems or habitats meet and merge. These zones are characterized by a gradual change in environmental conditions, such as soil type, moisture levels, temperature, and light exposure, as one ecosystem gives way to another. Examples include the area where a forest meets a grassland, a riverbank transitioning into the adjacent terrestrial environment, or the boundary between a coral reef and the open ocean.
The biodiversity within üleminekualad is often higher than in the adjacent, more uniform ecosystems. This is
Üleminekualad play a crucial role in ecological processes. They can act as corridors for species movement,
