Biogeographic realm places an ecosystem inside one of the large regions the living world is naturally divided into. Wikipedia notes the Great Barrier Reef "is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia," within the wider Indo-Pacific realm that shapes which species can actually live there. This dimension groups ecosystems that share the same broad biological region.
