List of ecoregions in the Solomon Islands

Tom Radulovich:


The country of [[Solomon Islands]] includes portions of two [[archipelago]]es - the southern portion of the [[Solomon Islands archipelago]], and the [[Santa Cruz Islands]], which are the northern extension of the [[Vanuatu]] archipelago. The geographic and ecological boundaries that define [[ecoregion]]s can differ from political boundaries.

==Terrestrial==
The Solomon Islands are in the [[Australasian realm]]. The Solomon Islands' two terrestrial ecoregions are in the [[tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests]] [[biome]].
* [[Solomon Islands rain forests]] (includes the neighboring [[Autonomous Region of Bougainville]] in [[Papua New Guinea]])
* [[Vanuatu rain forests]] (includes the [[Santa Cruz Islands]] and neighboring [[Vanuatu]])

==Freshwater==
* [[Solomon Islands (archipelago)|Solomon Islands]] (includes the Autonomous Region of Bougainville)

==Marine==
* [[Solomon Archipelago]]
* Vanuatu (includes Santa Cruz Islands)
