Ecotones are transitional zones between different ecosystems and are significant for biodiversity conservation. They often exhibit higher species richness due to the combination of species from the adjacent ecosystems, providing unique habitats and resources. Ecotones serve as buffer zones that can enhance ecosystem resilience against environmental changes. Additionally, these areas can facilitate species migration and serve as refuges for vulnerable species during climate shifts. Protecting ecotones is essential for maintaining overall biodiversity and ensuring that ecosystems can adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions.
