A biogeoclimatic zone is defined as "a geographic area having similar patterns of energy flow ...
Biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification (BEC) [1] [2] is an ecological classification framework used in British Columbia to define, describe, and map ecosystem-based units at various scales, from broad, ecologically-based climatic regions down to local ecosystems or sites.
The Thormanby Islands are located within the Coastal Douglas-fir (CDF) biogeoclimatic zone, [5] the smallest and most at-risk of British Columbia's 16 biogeoclimatic zones. [6] The CDF contains more species at risk than any other biogeoclimatic zone in BC, including 24 globally imperiled species and 282 species that are provincially-listed ...

Four of British Columbia's biogeoclimatic zones are found within the park: Interior cedar/hemlock, Engelmann spruce/subalpine fir, Interior Douglas-fir in the eastern extremities, and alpine tundra at high elevations. [34] Parks Canada characterizes these zones as "rainforest, snow forest, and no forest".
It covers 71,140 hectares and the next largest, Willison Glacier, covers 10,165 hectares. Among the park's many lakes, the largest is Atlin Lake. At 775 square kilometers, it is the largest natural freshwater body in the province. Three of British Columbia's biogeoclimatic zones are represented within the park: alpine tundra
