Please give me a simplified answer.

I know that the ecotone is the transition zone between 2 ecosystems characterized by its species richness (Exp. Between an agricultural land and a forest). Is this the same thing for a sampling quadrat, where we must avoid the boundaries? I have read that the edge effect for a circular quadrat is less important than for a square quadrat? I did not understand very well.

Thanks.
