biogeographical classification

Biogeographical classification is the process of grouping regions of the world based on their unique natural features, especially the plants and animals that live there. It helps scientists understand how different species and ecosystems are distributed across various areas, influenced by factors like climate, geography, and history. This classification creates zones or regions with similar ecological characteristics, aiding in the study of biodiversity, conservation efforts, and the Earth's biological history. Essentially, it organizes the planet's life zones to better understand how life is spread and why different areas have distinct communities of plants and animals.
