landscape genomics

Landscape genomics is a scientific approach that studies how genetic variation in organisms is influenced by their environment. By analyzing the relationship between genes and geographic factors, researchers can understand how landscapes, such as mountains, rivers, and climate, affect the evolution and adaptability of species. This field combines genetics, ecology, and geography to provide insights into biodiversity, conservation, and the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. Essentially, it helps us understand how living organisms interact with their surroundings at a genetic level.
