Science - Botanik | | Italienisch Begriff oder Satz: continuum cotonale | I don't have even the faintest idea what this may mean. Don't think it may be related to cotton, however here's the original sentence:
"La consistente ricchezza di biotopi, nonostante la limitata estensione dell’area, evidenzia una varietà di ambienti (delle spiagge, dei calanchi, dei trubi, dei gessi, dei torrenti e dei pantani) che a fronte di una riduzione del disturbo antropico darebbero origine ad un continuum di tipo cotonale."
Once again, the text is about vegetation distribution in the Southern coast of Sicily |
