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...

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

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...

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...

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

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

genetic components opposes the phenotypic variation caused by an environmental gradient. This can cause different populations of the same organism to display...

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

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

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...

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