Ecotones and Ecological Flows

Abstract

Abstract: ne of ecotonal functions is its influence on ecological flows, which are the flows of materials, energy and organisms across landscapes. The theoretical foundations for understanding the ecotones and ecological flows include cellular membrance theory, percolation theory, spiralling concept and factor analysis. Many results of the studies showed the relationships between the ecotones and ecological flows. Hunan activities were main factor influencing changes of the ecotones and ecological flows.

Key words: ecological demonstration activity, eco-civilization construction, mode.
