What Are Transition Zones

The transition zone is an area where environmental conditions and ecological factors allow both the mixture and the co-occurrence of biotic components that have different geographical origins, but also constrains their distribution further one into the other.

How is a region different from a boundary?

A region can be defined as a geographic area that has some consistent features or characteristics throughout. Regional boundaries are places where those features or characteristics change.

What is an example of transitional boundary?

Transition Zones Some are large, like the boundary between Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa. Others may be quite narrow and distinct, but they are still transition zones. For example the boundary between North American realm and Middle American realm runs along the US / Mexico border [wwrealm].
