Terrestrial ecozoneFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  (Redirected from Ecozone)

Page 72: Protected Regions

List of protected areas in IndiaAn ecozone is the broadest biogeographic division of the Earth's land surface, based on distributional patterns

of terrestrial organisms.

Ecozones delineate large areas of the Earth's surface within which organisms have been evolving in relative

isolation over long periods of time, separated from one another by geographic features, such as oceans,

broad deserts, or high mountain ranges, that constitute barriers to migration. As such, ecozone designations

are used to indicate general groupings of organisms based on their shared biogeography. Ecozones

correspond to the floristic kingdoms of botany or zoogeographic regions of zoology.

Ecozones are characterized by the evolutionary history of the organisms they contain. They are distinct

from biomes, also known as major habitat types, which are divisions of the Earth's surface based on life form,

or the adaptation of plants and animals to climatic, soil, and other conditions. Biomes are characterized by

similar climax vegetation. Each ecozone may include a number of different biomes. A tropical moist broadleaf

forest in Central America, for example, may be similar to one in New Guinea in its vegetation type and

structure, climate, soils, etc., but these forests are inhabited by plants and animals with very different

evolutionary histories.

The patterns of plant and animal distribution in the world's ecozones were shaped by the process of plate

tectonics, which has redistributed the world's land masses over geological history.

not shown.

The WWF scheme is broadly similar to Udvardy's system, the chief difference being the delineation of the

Australasian ecozone relative to the Antarctic, Oceanic, and Indomalayan ecozones. In the WWF system, The

Australasia ecozone includes Australia, Tasmania, the islands of Wallacea, New Guinea, the East Melanesian

islands, New Caledonia, and New Zealand. Udvardy's Australian realm includes only Australia and Tasmania;

he places Wallacea in the Indomalayan Realm, New Guinea, New Caledonia, and East Melanesia in the

Oceanian Realm, and New Zealand in the Antarctic Realm.

[edit]Bioregions

The WWF scheme further subdivides the ecozones into bioregions, defined as "geographic clusters of

ecoregions that may span several habitat types, but have strong biogeographic affinities, particularly at

taxonomic levels higher than the species level (genus, family)." The WWF bioregions are as follows:
