Ecotone
An ecotone is a transition area between two adjacent ecological communities (ecosystems). It may appear on the ground as a gradual blending of the two communities across a broad area, or it may manifest itself as a sharp boundary line. Changes in the physical environment may produce a sharp boundary, as in the example of a shoreline or the interface between areas of forest and cleared land. Elsewhere, a more gradually blended interface area will be found, where species from each community will be found together as well as unique local species. Mountain ranges often create such ecotones, due to the wide variety of climatic conditions experienced on their slopes. They may also provide a boundary between species due to the obstructive nature of their terrain; Mont Ventoux in France is a good example, marking the boundary between the flora and fauna of northern and southern France. Most wetlands are ecotones.

Écotone
Un écotone est une zone de transition écologique entre deux écosystèmes. Par exemple, le passage de la savane à la forêt, ou le passage d'une plaine alluviale à une zone non inondable. Comme dans le cas des biomes, la végétation joue un rôle important dans la caractérisation d'un écotone, du fait de la marque physionomique prépondérante qu'elle imprime au paysage.

Ekoton
Ekoton (gr. oikos = dom + tonos = napinanie) stanowi strefę przejściową na granicy dwóch (lub większej liczby) różnych biocenoz, np. biocenozy lasu i biocenozy łąki. Zamieszkują go organizmy charakterystyczne dla obu biocenoz oraz takie, które są swoiste tylko dla tej strefy. Obszary te charakteryzują się dużą bioróżnorodnością.

Ecotone
Un ecotone è un ambiente di transizione tra due ecosistemi, e più in generale tra due ambienti omogenei.Gli ecotoni contengono specie proprie delle comunità confinanti e specie esclusive dell'area ecotonale stessa, e quindi possiedono un'elevata biodiversità e ricchezza. Queste sue peculiarità rendono l'ecotone indispensabile poiché proprio attraverso queste strutture avviene il collegamento fra ambienti molto diversi tra loro (boschi-prati, laghi-foreste, acque dolci-acque salate).

Ecótone
Ecótone é o nome dado a uma região de transição entre dois biomas diferentes. Nas ecótones temos uma biodiversidade maior que a dos biomas em transição, pois nela se encontram espécies de ambos os biomas. Um exemplo de ecótone é o agreste do nordeste brasileiro, que é uma zona de transição entre o sertão e a zona da mata.
