edge zones
I would like to use 'ecotone' instead of 'edge'. It's biologcially more correct, geographically/spatially more correct and less likely to mislead newbies. Baffle maybe, but not mislead...we'll just provide a linked definition of 'ecotone' and then they can learn it with a click of the mouse.
"An ecotone is a sensitive transition area between two adjacent ecological communities."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotone
Ecotone is specific whereas edge zone is useful for describing transitional areas between groups of ecosystem
like area between broadacre farm acreage and forest or orchard or vegetable garden or plant nursery.
Glad to know about ecotone.
"plant can be found in an ecotone"
or
"plant can be found in an edge"
both just beg the question which ecotone, which edge, whats on either side?
We've used "woodland edge" for plants on the edge of a woodland,
which at least specifies one side of the edge.
