An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes.
Natural landscape
A natural landscape is the original landscape that exists before it is acted upon by human culture.
Biogeography
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through (geological) time.
Biotope
Biotope is an area of uniform environmental conditions providing a living place for a specific assemblage of plants and animals.
Landscape ecology
Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships between ecological processes in the environment and particular ecosystems.
Coevolution
In biology, coevolution occurs when changes in species' genetic compositions reciprocally affect each other’s evolution.
Habitat
A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism.
Plant community
A plant community (sometimes "phytocoenosis" or "phytocenosis") is a collection or association of plant species within a designated geographical unit, which forms a relatively uniform patch, distinguishable from neighboring patches of different vegetation types.
Riparian-zone restoration
Riparian-zone restoration is the ecological restoration of riparian-zone habitats of streams, rivers, springs, lakes, floodplains, and other hydrologic ecologies.
Intact forest landscape
An intact forest landscape (IFL) is an unbroken natural landscape of a forest ecosystem and its habitat—plant community components, in a current extant forest zone.
Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range.
Wildlife corridor
A wildlife corridor, habitat corridor, or green corridor is an area of habitat connecting wildlife populations separated by human activities or structures (such as roads, development, or logging).
Noxious weed
A noxious weed, harmful weed or injurious weed is a weed that has been designated by an agricultural authority as one that is injurious to agricultural or horticultural crops, natural habitats or ecosystems, or humans or livestock.
