or pycnocline (variations in density of water induced by temperature or salinity).
* ecocline transitions are less distinct (less clear-cut), have more stable conditions within, hence a higher plant species richness.
* an ecotone describes a variation in species prevalence and is often not strictly dependent on a major physical factor separating one ecosystem from another, with resulting habitat variability. An ecotone is often unobtrusive and harder
