Sections/sources added and pieces reworded

Hi all! Just as a heads up, I plan on making some changes to the article soon. See below for the summary:

1. Adding a section about the impacts of climate change discussing how, under current models, certain environmental gradients will be impacted. 2. Adding a section about man-made environmental gradients and how certain human processes (e.g. polluting sites, nuclear disasters) can create gradients/drastically shift existing ones. 3. Expanding on the "Abiotic factors" section with a more specific example of abiotic gradients affecting biotic components within them. 4. General rewording - some of the wording feels slightly redundant or unapproachable, mostly in the introduction, so I will be making some syntactic edits to simplify.

Happy editing! Adrik62 (talk) 05:17, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Environmental gradient. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150415130557/http://www.sefs.washington.edu/classes.esc.401/Gradients.htm to http://www.sefs.washington.edu/classes.esc.401/Gradients.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Light refining with suggested references

Hello all. I think that the current provided information on environmental gradients can be bolstered with more sources. Additionally, I plan to mention local adaption occurring over environmental gradients. All suggested/future edits are based in part by the references below:

1) Morphology change across environmental gradient.[1]

2) Effects of predators on prey across environmental gradient.[2]

3) Local adaption along environmental gradients.[3]

4) Urban environmental gradient.[4]

5) Productivity and species richness along an environmental gradient.[5]

6) Patterns of interaction change along an environmental gradient.[6]

7) Carbon fluxes and abiotic factors along an environmental gradient.[7]
