1. Washington Ecoregions Profile Assignment
Ecoregions reflect broad ecological patterns occurring on the landscape.
Using ecoregions as a framework for assessing the distribution and status of species and ecosystems makes biological sense, compared to using politically derived lines like county, state or national boundaries. Ecoregions also provide an ecological basis for partitioning the state into subunits for conservation planning purposes.
