Ecoregions Of Japan

Japan lies at the convergence of three terrestrial Ecozone s, the Palearctic , Indomalaya , and Oceania , and its flora and fauna combine elements from all three.

The Island Arc s of southern Japan, the Ryukyu Islands to the southwest and the Ogasawara Islands to the southeast, are home to Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forest ecoregions; the Nansei Islands Subtropical Evergreen Forests ecoregion of the Ryukyus is part of the Indomalaya ecozone, while the Ogasawara Subtropical Moist Forests of the Ogasawaras is part of the Oceania ecozone.
