Biome Interplay and Transition Zones
The boundaries between distinct biomes are rarely sharp lines; rather, they form ecotones—transition areas exhibiting species characteristics of both adjacent biomes. These zones are often subject to increased ecological stress and competitive overlap.
For example, the transition from a humid, species-rich [tropi… -

Sub-Boreal Zones and Ecotones
The transition zones, or ecotones, of the Boreal Forest are ecologically dynamic. To the south lies the mixed temperate forest, and to the north, the tundra. The southern transition often features localized ecological anomalies, such as the isolated boreal pockets found atop high-elevation landmasses in warmer latitudes [2]. These pockets represent [climatic refugia](/entries/climatic-refugi…
