It features diverse climates and habitats, from Arctic tundra to deserts and forests. The region is known for its unique plant and animal species, many of which are adapted to specific environments within North America. The Nearctic is important for studying biodiversity, ecology, and evolutionary processes, and it shares some species with neighboring regions like the Palearctic, especially in the northern parts.
