Austria is located within a temperate climatic zone. In the west and
northwest the influence of the temperate Atlantic climate is felt
more strongly, in the east the influence of the continental climate.
Precipitation levels vary significantly along a west-east axis and
rise with altitude. The diversity of topographical and climatic
conditions accounts for the country's abundant flora and fauna.
Austria is one of Europe's most heavily wooded countries (46% of its
surface area).
