To illustrate with a simple example, imagine there are 100 grid cells, divided into four ecoregions, with 25 in the first ecoregion, 40 in the second ecoregion, 15 in the third ecoregion and 20 in There are 867 terrestrial ecoregions, classified into 14 different biomes such as forests, grasslands, or deserts. Ecoregions represent the original distribution of distinct assemblages of species and communities. There are multiple uses for TEOW in our efforts to conserve biodiversity around the world. It provides: • a map of terrestrial 1. Introduction. Ecoregions are usually defined as relatively homogeneous areas that have similar environmental conditions (Bailey, 2005).Consequently, a group of ecoregions can represent the habitat heterogeneity of a certain region (Bailey, 1983, Bailey, 1998, Olson et al., 2001, Bailey, 2005, Omernik and Griffith, 2014).Habitat heterogeneity mapping is crucial because it can be used as an Ecoregions are areas that have similar climate, geology, and soils. These abiotic (non-biological) factors determine what plants and animals can live in the ecosystem. Even though two places might be far apart, if they are part of the same ecoregion, we can predict they will have similar species. For example, a mixed deciduous-coniferous forest Ecoregions by Country within Latin America and the Caribbean. Ecoregions (ecological regions) are ecologically and geographically defined areas. Ecoregions cover relatively large areas of land or water and contain characteristic, geographically distinct assemblages of natural communities and species. An ecoregion may be either terrestrial Make selections from the dropdown select box or from the clickable map of Level III and IV Ecoregions by EPA Region.
