Australian Taxonomy

Australian taxonomy is the scientific system used to classify and organize living organisms in Australia. It groups species into hierarchical categories like kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system helps scientists accurately identify, study, and communicate about different plants, animals, and microorganisms. In Australia, taxonomy is essential due to its rich biodiversity, ensuring consistent naming and understanding of native and imported species. It also supports conservation, environmental management, and scientific research by providing a clear framework for studying the country’s diverse ecosystems.
