Terrestrial ecoregion Information (394 words)
Ecoregions are defined by World Wildlife Fund as "relatively large units of land or water containing a distinct assemblage of natural communities and species, with boundaries that approximate the original extent of natural communities prior to major land-use change".
Terrestrial ecoregions are land ecoregions, as distinct from freshwater ecoregions and marine ecoregions.
Ecoregions are classified by biome type, which are the major global plant communities determined by rainfall and climate.
