Until 1979, European salt marshes were known only through the inventories of fauna and especially of flora. On such criteria, the salt marshes of the Mont-Saint-Michel bay (France) were regarded as most significant of the French coasts. However, it took 20 years of research on the role of these wetlands of the estuaries-salt marsh systems to highlight the ecological, social and economic interes...

the most serious encephalitis in human and horse, and abortion in pigs. The virus is spread over a wide area of East Asian countries and JE is a major public health concern in Thailand, China and India8). It is still unknown how the virus survives the winter in the northern temperate zone while the vector mosquito is inactive5). Hokkaido, northern island of Japan is located within the ecotone o...

Mutual trophic interactions between contiguous habitats have remained poorly understood despite their potential significance for community maintenance in ecological landscapes. In a deciduous forest and stream ecotone, aquatic insect emergence peaked around spring, when terrestrial invertebrate biomass was low. In contrast, terrestrial invertebrate input to the stream occurred primarily during ...

We evaluated the floristic and structural composition of a tree community in an ecotone between Cerrado (cerradão) Atlantic Forest (seasonal semideciduous forest) domains located Porto Ferreira State Park (PFSP), southeastern Brazil. compared relationships this with those previous surveys carried out on same vegetation types checked species distribution among Brazilian biomes. sampled all livin...

Abstract Background Lake-terrestrial ecotone is a transition zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Linking land lake, it thus highly sensitive vulnerable to disturbances. It includes three parts, namely, radiant belt toward land, shoreline lake. Extending from multi-year average low water level line open water, lake key part of lake-terrestrial ecotone. However, the delimitation meth...

Woody species encroachment of grasslands globally causes many socioecological impacts, including loss grazing pastures and decreased biodiversity. Soil microbial communities may partially regulate the pace shrub encroachment, as plant-microbial interactions can strongly influence plant success. We measured fungal composition activity under dominant across a grassland to shrubland transition det...

Ecotone – an area where two environments of different composition and structure meet due to land conversion is prone habitat loss biodiversity devaluation as a result fragmentation. Responsive change, birds represent one the common animals all types since their diversity abundance are able reflect ecological tendencies in biodiversity. This study was aimed analyze diversity, abundance, evenness...
