Historic and Simulated Desert-Oasis Ecotone Changes in the Arid Tarim River Basin, China
Remote Sensing, 2021 The desert-oasis ecotone, as a crucial natural barrier, maintains the stability of oasis agricultural production and protects oasis habitat security. This paper investigates the dynamic evolution of the desert-oasis ecotone in the Tarim River Basin and ...

Climate-driven regime shifts in a mangrove–salt marsh ecotone over the past 250 years [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance In recent years, tropical species have expanded poleward into temperate regions. For example, along the east coast of North America, mangroves have expanded into salt marshes in response to decreases in the frequency of extreme freezes.

Ecotone Dynamics and Stability from Soil Perspective: Forest-Agriculture Land Transition
Agriculture, 2019 Topographic and edaphic gradients usually arrange ecotonal boundaries. Although the interrelationships between vegetation and edaphic factors are relevant in most types of ecotones, they are not adequately documented.

Ecotone Dynamics and Stability from Soil Scientific Point of View
Diversity, 2019 Transitional areas between two or more different biomes—ecotones—are clearly visible due to the sudden changes in vegetation structures and patterns. However, much is still unknown about the crucial soil factors that control such vegetational

Ecotone Might Provide Key Refugium for Sky Island Mammals in the Southern Appalachian Mountains [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSky islands, ecosystems found on geographically isolated mountain peaks, are among the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world but face a disproportionately high threat from climate change.

The Effects of Low Concentrations and Long-Term Contamination by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on the Structure and Function of Bacterial Communities in the Lake–Terrestrial Ecotone [PDF]
MicroorganismsDue to the growing focus on daily hygiene practices, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a widely used surfactant, is increasingly found in domestic sewage and rainfall runoff. Upon entering the lake–terrestrial ecotone, SDS affects the composition, abundance,

Linking microbial co‐occurrences to soil ecological processes across a woodland‐grassland ecotone
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Ecotones between distinct ecosystems have been the focus of many studies as they offer valuable insights into key drivers of community structure and ecological processes that underpin function.
