To do from Ecological classification:

Classification schemes
Following, a comparison of classification schemes and terms used in the study of the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems and the Earth in ecology and other fields.

Ecology
In ecology:
 * ecosphere
 * realm (or ecozone)
 * ecoprovince
 * ecoregion
 * ecodistrict
 * ecotope / ecosystem sensu stricto

Biogeography
In biogeography:
 * biosphere
 * biome
 * bioregion
 * biotope

Zoogeography
In zoogeography:
 * zoogeographic region
 * zootope

Phytogeography
In phytogeography:


 * floristic kingdom
 * floristic region
 * floristic province
 * phytotope

Vegetation-related
For the physiognomic approach, see Vegetation.

For the association (phytosociological) approach, see Phytosociology.

Physiography
In physiography:
 * physiosphere
 * physiotope

Geology
In Geology:
 * geosphere
 * geotope

Pedology
In pedology:
 * pedosphere
 * pedotope

Köppen (1884)

 * Main climate group, 5 groups, 1st letter
 * Type of precipitation pattern, 2nd letter
 * Subtype, degree of summer heat, 3rd letter

Other

 * Aridity index
 * Climate zones by altitude

Examples of implementations
"Ecological land classification" as understood in this article, is approximate with the biogeographical and ecological regionalisations in a scientific context (see biogeographic units).

However, its actual usage is more approximate with a tool used for land management, in the context of environmental resource management.

In Canada ecological land classification schemes are commonly used. Provincial authorities have adopted methods to classify ecosystems within various ecoregions of the province. Ontario is one such province that uses an extensive method to define ecological units. Improvements in hand held technology have allowed for more efficient collection of vegetation and physiological data in the field, such as with the ELC eTool.
