Question

Transition zone between two vegetational types is

• A. Ecotone
• B. Ecotope
• C. Ecocline
• D. Ecosystem

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ecotone

An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes. It is where two communities meet and integrate. It may be narrow or wide, and it may be local (the zone between a field and forest) or regional (the transition between forest and grassland ecosystems).

Ecocline (ecological gradient) is a gradation from one ecosystem to another when there is no sharp boundary between the two. It is the joint expression of associated community (coenocline) and complex environmental gradients.

Ecotopes are the smallest ecologically distinct landscape features in a landscape mapping and classification system.
