\nAn ecotone is a transitional area between two different ecosystems. It is where elements from both bordering communities intermix. This often results in a higher biodiversity than either of the adjacent ecosystems, due to the presence of species from both communities and unique species adapted to the transitional conditions (known as the edge effect).
