Biogeographic classification

Biogeographic classification is the science of categorizing regions of the world based on their unique plant and animal communities and the environmental factors that shape them. It helps us understand how living organisms are distributed across the planet, considering factors like climate, geography, and historical processes. By grouping areas into distinct biogeographic regions, scientists can study biodiversity, conservation needs, and how ecosystems function. This classification ranges from large regions like continents to smaller areas like specific habitats, providing insights into the relationships between organisms and their environments.
