ecogeography

Ecogeography is the study of how the geographical distribution of plants, animals, and other organisms relates to environmental factors such as climate, terrain, and resources. It examines how species are spread across different regions and how their adaptations influence where they live. By understanding these patterns, ecogeographers can learn how ecosystems function, predict changes due to environmental shifts, and assist in conservation efforts. Essentially, it links the physical landscape with the biological communities it supports, helping us understand the complex relationships between geography and living organisms.
