  Introduction and Summary: Assessment of species diversity in the Montane Cordillera Ecozone
The Montane Cordillera Ecozone extends from the eastern Rocky Mountains in Alberta to the western slope of the Cascades in British Columbia, and from the latitude of the Skeena Mountains in northern British Columbia to the United States border.
Invasion of the Ecozone by plants and animals from peripheral refugia was episodal and correlated with climatic fluctuations throughout the Holocene.
This is a subalpine zone occurring in the severe climate in the north of the Ecozone.

 Southern Arctic Ecozone
Throughout this ecozone, soils are deep, well developed, and have a high nutrient content, because increased moisture and milder temperatures encourage weathering and decomposition.
The soil is cryosolic because it is frozen and affected by permafrost.
The Southern Arctic Ecozone represents a region of transition from taiga forest to the treeless arctic tundra.

  Prairies Ecozone
This ecozone is part of the Interior Plains of Canada, which are a northern extension of the Great Plains of North America.
With its base along the Canada-United States border, the ecozone stretches from the Rocky Mountains in Alberta to the Red River valley in Manitoba, reaching across the southern third of the Prairie provinces.
The Prairies Ecozone, spanning an area of 520 000 square kilometres, is larger than the Yukon Territory and is one of the Canadian regions most altered by human activity.

  Ecozone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ecozones are global divisions which have their own characteristic interplay of climatic factors, morphodynamics, soil-forming processes, living conditions for plants and animals, and production potentials for agriculture and forestry.
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.

An ecozone is an area of the earth’s surface that represents a large ecological zone and has characteristic landforms and climate.
Each ecozone is distinguished from others by its unique mosaic of plants, wildlife, climate, landforms, and human activities.
Ecozones are useful for general national reporting and for placing Canada’s ecosystem diversity in a North American or global context.

 ECOZONE TAXATION
Ecozones are areas designated by the government for development into balanced agricultural, industrial, commercial, and tourist/recreational regions.
Ecozones are among the measures adopted by the Government to implement its policy of promoting the preferential use of Filipino labor, domestic materials and locally produced goods, and to help them make them internationally competitive.
Ecozones are created by virtue of EO 226 otherwise known as Omnibus Investment Code which becomes effective on July 1997 and by Presidential Decree No. 66 otherwise known as PEZA law.

 Ecozones
Pacific Maritime - This ecozone of mountains, fjords and valleys, consists of the Pacific coast of mainland British Columbia and southwestern Yukon and the marine islands of British Columbia.
The northern part of the ecozone is largely treeless, though areas farther south are able to support open forest.
Three quarters of this ecozone is forested, although most of this is at least secondary growth due to losses to forestry and agriculture.
