English term
ecotone
Macroinvertebrate biomass was highest at an intermediate riparian ecotone complexity with an adequate supply of organic matter and incident light. Fish biomass followed the same trend, being lowest in heavily shaded areas and in open channels without riparian vegetation (range: 1-4.5 g m-2), but highest in ecotones of intermediate complexity (range: 1.6-92.8 g m-2). The cascading effect of invertebrate density depletion, which was inversely related to fish biomass, was observed seasonally. (Wiley InterScience)
The complexity and biological importance of riparian ecotones depend on the extent to which the system is self-regulating, which depends in turn on geology, physiography, climate, vegetation, human activity and the age of the system. (Fish and riparian ecotones – a hypothesis)
A common example of ecotones is estuaries—the transitional area between rivers and the oceans. The variety of species found in an estuary is much higher than in the river or in the shallow sea-water. (BASICS OF ECOLOGY & LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS)

भ्रमण दल में आई महिला मंगल दल की अध्यक्ष महेश्वरी देवी ने जंगली के मिश्रित वन की तरह उर्गम घाटी में मिश्रित वन बनाए जाने की बात कही। भ्रमण दल में वन पंचायत संगठन चमोली के सचिव बहादुर सिंह, विलोचना देवी, विमला देवी आदि ने जंगली से कई प्रश्न पूछे। (Dainik Jagran.Hindi)
