Ecocline represents:
An ecocline is a gradual change in species composition or community structure along a continuous environmental gradient. Moving from low to high elevation, dry to wet soil, or low to high salinity may progressively replace species according to their physiological tolerances and competitive abilities. Boundaries are diffuse because the underlying environmental variable changes continuously. An ecotone, by contrast, is often described as a more recognizable transition zone between adjacent communities, although the two terms sometimes overlap in ecological usage. A sharp ecosystem boundary is th
