This is a list of terrestrial ecoregions as compiled by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The WWF identifies terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecoregions. The terrestrial scheme divides the Earth's land surface into 8 biogeographic realms, containing 867 smaller ecoregions. Each ecoregion is classified into one of 14 major habitat types, or biomes.
The agency has issued the Digital Map of European Ecological Regions (DMEER), and operates with a total of 70 ecoregions, of which 58 are within the European continent. Some of these ecoregions are congruent with the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) ecoregions, and some are not. [2] [3]

The Irish name Eiscir Riada provides an indication of the significance of the eskers. The first element (and English esker) comes from Old Irish escir meaning "a ridge, an elevation (separating two plains or depressed surfaces)" and the second is from Old Irish ríad which refers to "riding, driving" (later "taming") of the horses or oxen driven on it.
The tables below show mean 30-year climate averages for Ireland's two largest cities, taken from the weather stations at Dublin Airport and Belfast International Airport respectively. The state metrological service for the Republic of Ireland is Met Éireann , while the Met Office monitors climate data for Northern Ireland.
