  Ecozone - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
A few of the ecozones are subdivided into comparatively independent subregions or ecoregions, such as the Polar subpolar zone, which is divided into the glacier-covered regions (ice deserts), the frost debris regions and the tundras.
These ecozones occur in bands, often fragmentated because of the distribution of the continents and oceans, from the poles to the equator.
A biogeographical realm or ecozone is a biogeographical and ecological land classification system of the world first formally proposed by Miklos Udvardy in 1975 for conservation purposes.

 Wikinfo | Palearctic
The Palearctic is one of the eight ecozones dividing the Earth surface (see map).
Physically, it is the largest ecozone, but it has few unique features since it is central and temperate or tundra, with no truly tropical areas, but some arid areas with near-tropical climates (Sicily, southern Spain, Greece).
Because of its size, it is often divided for convenience into the Western Palaearctic and the Eastern Palaearctic, the Ural mountains being taken as the boundary.

This boreal and temperate European-Siberian region is the Palearctic's largest biogeographic region, which transitions from Tundra in the northern reaches of Russia and Scandinavia to the vast Taiga, the boreal coniferous forests which run across the continent.
This scheme includes these desert ecoregions in the palearctic ecozone; other biogeographers identify the ecozone boundary as the transition zone between the desert ecoregions and the Mediterranean basin ecoregions to the north, which places the deserts in the Afrotropic, while others place the boundary through the middle of the desert.
The ecozone contains several important freshwater ecoregions as well, including the heavily developed Rivers of Europe, the Rivers of Russia, which flow into the Arctic, Baltic, Black, and Caspian seas, Siberia's Lake Baikal, the oldest and deepest lake on the planet, and Japan's ancient Lake Biwa.
