Description
Byeong-Joo Park, Eun-Seo Lee, and Kwangil Cheon map border zones between plant climate zones in South Korean forests in a 2026 study. Such zones, called ecotones, blend gradients and matter for biodiversity, yet their place and function had not been measured at national scale. Proof is needed if they are to enter protected area planning.
Using a spread based classification, the team drew the zones and tested how they differ in setting and species mix. The zones held traits of several zones at once, with in between conditions and mixed species, in line with a buffering role. Their species richness was high and near that of the northern temperate zone.
