Why is Ecotone so popular these days? |
|
Answer» An Ecotone describes an area that acts as a transition or boundary between two ecosystems. An Ecotone can be formed naturally – through abiotic factors such as changes in soil composition – but can also be created through the result of human interaction. Ecotone can act as a “buffer-zone” protecting the neighbouring ecosystem from possible environmental damage i.e., a wetland area could absorb pollutants preventing them from seeping into a river or estuary. |
