Ecoregion
An ecoregion is a geographic area defined by its unique environmental conditions, including climate, soil, vegetation, and wildlife. These regions are characterized by similar ecosystems that support specific plant and animal communities. Ecoregions help scientists and conservationists understand biodiversity and manage natural resources effectively.
Ecoregions can vary in size and can be found across the globe, from the Amazon Rainforest to the Sahara Desert. They are essential for studying ecological processes and the impacts of human activities, such as urbanization and agriculture, on the environment. Understanding ecoregions aids in conservation efforts and sustainable development.
