Abstract: We study the half-chain entanglement entropy in the ground state of the spin-1/2 XX chain across an extended random defect, where the strength of disorder decays with the distance from the interface algebraically as $Delt{a}_{l}sim{l}^{-kappa}$. In the whole regime $kappage0$, the average entanglement entropy is found to increase logarithmically with the system size $L$ as $S_{L}simeqfrac{c}_{meff}(kappa)6lnL+const$, where the effective central charge $c_{meff}(kappa)$ depends on $kappa$. In the regime $kappa<1/2$, where the extended defect is a relevant perturbation, the strong-disorder renormalization group method gives $c_{meff}(kappa)=(1-2kappa)ln2$, while, in the regime $kappage1/2$, where the extended defect is irrelevant in the bulk, numerical results indicate a non-zero effective central charge, which increases with $kappa$. The variation of $c_{meff}(kappa)$ is thus found to be non-monotonic and discontinuous at $kappa=1/2$.
