English term

ecotone

GBK English to Slovak Science Zoology
Definition from A Glossary of Marine Nature Conservation and Fisheries :
a narrow and fairly sharply defined transition zone between two or more communities (Allaby 1998); eg the different plankton communities that occur on opposite sides of fronts.
Example sentences:
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)

Ekoton - okrajové spoločenstvo je oblast prechodu medzi dvoma susediacimi avšak rozdielnymi rastlinnými spoločenstvami, napr. les- step.

Ekotón

Definition from Školský Informačný Servis:
Ekotón je prechodné pásmo medzi cenózami. Vyznačuje sa variabilnými podmienkami, prenikajú doň prvky flóry i fauny z oboch hraničiacich ekosystémov.
Example sentences:
Ekotony sa vyznačujú zvýšenou druhovou pestrosťou, jav nazývame okrajový efekt (edge effect). (ŠIS)
Rozhranie kde sa stretávajú sa nazýva ekotón, prechodná alebo pufračná zóna. (Zivotne prostredie )

ekologický profil

Definition from own experience or research:
Zložitosť a biologická dôležitosť závisí od rozsahu samoregulácie systému, teda od ekologického profilu. Bežným príkladom ekologického profilu sú ústia riek - prechodové oblasti medzi riekami a oceánmi. Rôznorodosť druhov nájdených v ústiach je oveľa vyššia ako v riekach alebo plytkých morských vodách.
Example sentences:
Na základě objektivních kontrol, měření a monitorování vlivů na životní prostředí každoročně zpracovat "Ekologický profil společnosti" s cílem porovnat skutečnost se závazky vyplývajícími z Environmentální politiky,... (Ekologický profil akciové společnosti)
