Ecological classification

Ecological classification or ecological typology is the classification of land or water into geographical units that represent variation in one or more ecological features. Traditional approaches focus on geology, topography, biogeography, soils, vegetation, climate conditions, living species, habitats, water resources, and sometimes also anthropic factors.^[1] Most approaches pursue the cartographical delineation or regionalisation of distinct areas for mapping and planning.^[2]
