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)

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]
