Elevation Richness Gradient

Elevation Richness Gradient is a biogeographical pattern that describes the variation in species richness along an elevational continuum, typically characterized by a decline in the number of species with increasing elevation, distinguishing it from other richness gradients by its specificity to altitudinal changes in terrain.
