	Terrestrial ecoregion Information
		Ecoregions are defined by World Wildlife Fund as "relatively large units of land or water containing a distinct assemblage of natural communities and species, with boundaries that approximate the original extent of natural communities prior to major land-use change".
		Terrestrial ecoregions are land ecoregions, as distinct from freshwater ecoregions and marine ecoregions.
		Ecoregions are classified by biome type, which are the major global plant communities determined by rainfall and climate.

	Wikinfo \| Palearctic
		The Palearctic is one of the eight ecozones dividing the Earth surface (see map).
		It includes the terrestrial ecoregions of Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, Africa north of the Sahara Desert and some parts of the Middle East.
		One bird family, Prunellidae, the accentors, is endemic to the Palearctic region.

	Palearctic
		The Palearctic or Palaearctic is one of the eight ecozones dividing the Earth surface (see map).
		It includes the terrestrial ecoregions of Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, Africa north of the Sahara Desert and some parts of the Middle East.
		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 (north Africa, Sicily, southern Spain, Greece).

		These mountains are recognised by biogeographers as the boundary between two of the earth's great ecozones; the temperate Palearctic that covers most of Eurasia, and the tropical and subtropical Indomalaya ecozone that includes the Indian subcontinent and extend into Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
		The northern region of Maharashtra and Goa is known as the Konkan Coast, the central region of Karnataka is known as the Kanara Coast and the southern coastline of Kerala is known as the Malabar Coast.
		The Bangladeshi and Indian portions of the jungle are listed in the UNESCO world heritage list separately as the Sundarbans and Sundarbans National Park respectively, though they are parts of the same forest.

		We believe thinking ecoregion instead of political geography (ie, borders between "regions" being defined by the political borders of nations) is a better way to solve some global issues.
		Superimposing the ecozones on that, and the subordinate rivers flowing to each ocean through them, and then the ecoregions on the surface, is the only objective way to break down the Earth's biosphere without cognizance of political boundaries or languages.

	Ecosystem Profile: Eastern Himalayas Region
		The Palearctic Realm to the north contributes plant species in the higher elevation forests, including conifers such as spruce (Piceae), fir (Abies), and larch (Larix), as well as deciduous broadleaf taxa such as birch (Betula), alder (Alnus), willow (Salix) and numerous alpine forbs such as Potentilla and Pedicularis.
		Palearctic mammals include the snow leopard (Uncia uncia), brown bear (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus) and a diverse assemblage of alpine ungulates.
		The corridors also provide altitudinal habitat connectivity between the range of ecoregions represented in Bhutan (WWF and ICIMOD 2001), from the lowland grassland and savannas to the alpine meadows, and the subtropical and temperate broadleaf forests, mixed conifer and subalpine conifer forests in-between.

		This ecoregion is an extremely fertile area because of the riverborne silt deposited in the delta.
		This large ecoregion represents the semi-evergreen submontane rain forests that extend from the midranges of the Arakan Yoma and Chin Hills north into the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh, the Mizo and Naga hills along the Myanmar-Indian border, and into the northern hills of Myanmar.
		The ecoregion sits astride a major zoogeographic ecotone, where the northern Palearctic and the southern Indo-Malayan faunas mix, allowing langurs to mix with red pandas and muntjac and musk deer to mingle.

	Global Deserts Outlook
		The Palearctic realm also harbours three coastal deserts (Atlantic coastal desert, Gulf desert, and Red Sea coastal desert), as well as five montane sky-island relict ecosystems (Tarim Basin deciduous forests and steppe, Kuh Rud and Eastern Iran montane woodlands, Afghan Mountains semi-desert, Tibesti-Jebel Uweinat montane xeric woodlands, and West Saharan montane xeric woodlands).
		The Palearctic deserts cover a remarkable 16 million square kilometres, totalling 63 per cent of all the deserts on the planet.
		Their population density is 16 persons per square kilometre, and their mean human footprint (15) is the second lowest on the planet, possibly because of the sheer inaccessibility and the extreme aridity of many of its large ecoregions.

	Ecoregions of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The islands that constitute Japan generally have a humid climate, which ranges from warm subtropical in the southern islands to cool temperate on the northern island of Hokkaidō.
		Japan lies at the convergence of three terrestrial ecozones, the Palearctic, Indomalaya, and Oceania, and its flora and fauna combine elements from all three.
		The ecoregions that cover the main islands of Japan, Honshū, Hokkaido, Kyūshū, and Shikoku, along with the nearby islands, are considered part of the Palearctic ecozone.

		The tundra is a treeless polar desert found in the high latitudes in the polar regions, primarily in Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Scandinavia, as well as sub-Antarctic islands.
		Most precipitation falls in the form of snow during the winter while soils tend to be acidic and saturated with water where not frozen.
		Tundra ecoregions were selected primarily because of extraordinary seasonal concentrations of breeding waterfowl and shorebirds, as well as caribou
