floral diversity

Floral diversity refers to the variety and abundance of different flowering plants within an area or the world. It includes differences in plant types, sizes, colors, shapes, and reproductive strategies. This diversity is essential for healthy ecosystems, supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies, providing food and habitat for many animals, and contributing to the beauty and stability of natural environments. Factors such as climate, soil, and human activity influence floral diversity. High floral diversity generally indicates a healthy, resilient ecosystem capable of adapting to changes and sustaining diverse life forms.
