An ecological or biogeographical region defined by its distinctive climate, vegetation, and environmental characteristics.
From 'eco-' (environment) and 'state' (condition), following the pattern of scientific nomenclature. This term developed in ecological science to describe large-scale environmental zones.
An ecostate is bigger than a single forest or lake—it's an entire region where the climate, soil, and plants create one distinctive living system, like the African savanna or the boreal forest.
