Phytogeography

Phytogeography is the scientific study of how plants are distributed across different regions of the Earth. It examines factors like climate, soil types, and geographical features that influence where specific plants thrive. This field helps us understand biodiversity, the relationships between plants and their environments, and how plant distributions change over time, especially in response to climate change and human activity. By mapping out plant communities, phytogeography aids in conservation efforts and helps predict how ecosystems might evolve in the future.
