The Socotra Island xeric shrublands is a terrestrial ecoregion that covers the large island of Socotra and several smaller islands that constitute the Socotra Archipelago. The archipelago is in the western Indian Ocean, east of the Horn of Africa and south of the Arabian Peninsula. Politically the archipelago is part of Yemen, and lies south of the Yemeni mainland. Socotra has a uniquely diverse ecosystem. The islands are home to a high number of endemic species; up to a third of its plant life is endemic. It has been described as "the most alien-looking place on Earth."

  • Els Matollars xeròfits de l'Illa de Socotra és una ecoregió coincident amb les illes de l'Arxipèlag de Socotra. L'illa de Socotra, la més extensa té un ecosistema exclusivament divers format per arbusts xèrics, zones muntanyoses seques i poblades d'arbusts endèmics, inclosos els dominants Croton socotranus i Jatropha unicostata. La zona ara corre el risc d'activitats humanes. La WWF descriu l'estat de conservació de l'Arxipèlag de Socotra com a "crític / en perill d'extinció" (ca)
  • La sokotraj kserofitaroj estas tersupraĵa ekoregiono el la sahel-sudana ekoprovinco de la afrotropisa ekozono laŭ la tipologio de la Monda Natur-Fonduso (WWF). Ĝi etendiĝas tra la insularo de Sokotro kiu estas administrata de Jemeno kaj Somalujo. La ekoregiono kongruas kun la tutmondaj 200-regiono sokotr-insula dezerto. Fitogeografie, la sokotraj kserofitaroj estas aparta flaŭra provinco el la Sudano-Zambezia Regiono de la Paleotropika Regno. La ekoregiono ankaŭ estas unuflanke parto de la biodiverseco-riĉaĵejo Korno de Afriko, aliflanke signita Mondan Naturheredaĵon de Unesko. (eo)
  • El matorral xerófilo de Socotra es una ecorregión de la ecozona afrotropical, definida por WWF, que se extiende por el archipiélago de Socotra, en Yemen. (es)
  • La macchia xerofila di Socotra è un'ecoregione semidesertica dell'ecozona afrotropicale (codice ecoregione: AT1318) che comprende l'isola omonima, situata ad est del Corno d'Africa e a sud dello Yemen. Appartiene al bioma dei deserti e macchia xerofila e compare sulla lista «Global 200» del WWF che raggruppa le regioni biogeografiche più rappresentative della biodiversità mondiale. L'intero arcipelago di Socotra figura sull'elenco dei patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dal 2008 ed è considerato un punto caldo di biodiversità dall'associazione Conservation International, assieme al resto del Corno d'Africa.
