<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this study, we consider a Lotka–Volterra reaction–diffusion–advection model for two competing species under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, describing a hostile environment at the boundary. In particular, we deal with the case in which one species diffuses at a constant rate, whereas the other species has a constant rate diffusion rate with a directed movement toward a better habitat in a heterogeneous environment with a lethal boundary. By analyzing linearized eigenvalue problems from the system, we conclude that the species dispersion in the advection direction is not always beneficial, and survival may be determined by the convexity of the environment. Further, we obtain the coexistence of steady-states to the system under the instability conditions of two semi-trivial solutions and the uniqueness of the coexistence steady states, implying the global asymptotic stability of the positive steady-state.</p>
