Automatic categorisation

The template will automatically categorise the article in which it is placed into one or more the following categories:

• Ecological areas by containing biome biome
• Ecological areas in ecoregion ecoregion, if it is an ecoregion or smaller area.
• Ecological areas in ecozone ecozone, if it is an ecoregion.
• Ecological areas in country
• Biogeography by country division, if it is within a subdivision of a country.
• Conservation status ecological areas
• Ecological areas containing soil group soil group
