Abstract: The rapid development of ecology in China has introduced new terms or new meanings into the existing terms, which may cause confusion in communication due to ambiguity of these terms. Taking the word "gradient" as an example, we investigate its usages in English dictionaries and the ecological literature, analyze differences in meaning between ecology and other disciplines, and trace back the introduction and expansion of this word in the Chinese ecological literature. We find that the word "gradient" has been misused extensively in Chinese ecological publications. The use of a single term to express two different meanings in translation may be responsible for the wide misuse. Non-uniqueness of Chinese characters exaggerates the situation. We propose a solution and call for attention to other scientific terms.

Key words: terms, gradient, misuse, altitude, validation
