About: List of ecoregions in Austria

This is a list of ecoregions in Austria as defined by the World Wildlife Fund and the Freshwater Ecoregions of the World database. Austria is made up of four terrestrial ecoregions and two freshwater ecoregions. Austria's ecology is largely influenced by the Alps and the water which flows from them. The central western part of Austria is home to these mountains, and the eastern and northern portions of the nation are less extreme in their elevations. The country is home to diverse terrestrial and marine fauna. These ecoregions are descriptions of the areas in their natural state; many are home to farms and urban populations.
