An environmental gradient, or climate gradient, is a change in abiotic (non-living) factors through space (or time). Environmental gradients can be related...

in Speciation categorise these forms into three groups: clinal (environmental gradients), "stepping-stone" (discrete populations), and stasipatric speciation...

instead along deterministic environmental gradients. Ecologists have long been aware of the significance of environmental gradient based approaches to better...

Osmotic power, salinity gradient power or blue energy is the energy available from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river...

convection happens, this shifts the environmental lapse rate towards the adiabatic lapse rate, which is a thermal gradient characteristic of vertically moving...

Geothermal gradient is the rate of change in temperature with respect to increasing depth in Earth's interior. As a general rule, the crust temperature...

In biology, a cline is a measurable gradient in a single characteristic (or biological trait) of a species across its geographical range. Clines usually...

A redox gradient is a series of reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions sorted according to redox potential. The redox ladder displays the order in which...

contrast to ecosystems which change smoothly and continuously along an environmental gradient. Alternative stable state theory was first proposed by Richard Lewontin...

Stream gradient (or stream slope) is the grade (or slope) of a stream. It is measured by the ratio of drop in elevation and horizontal distance. It is...

mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp czerepanovii) along three environmental gradients: does life in harsh environments alter plant–fungal relationships...

Elevational diversity gradient (EDG) is an ecological pattern where biodiversity changes with elevation. The EDG states that species richness tends to...

septate endophytes. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi vary across many environmental gradients. Their tolerance to freezing and drying is known to shift between...

vertically from the subtropical plants to the alpine plants due to the environmental gradient. Of the 4,000 species of vascular plants native to Korea, about...

leading to a compensation that allows the species to persist along an environmental gradient. Contrasting trends in life cycle components may arise through tradeoffs...

according to the position of their realized ecological niche along an environmental gradient. Since 1997, the term has also been used to refer to Dufrêne & Legendre's...
