Biodiversity and Biogeography

---

Biodiversity encompasses the heterogenous life on Earth at all levels, from genes to organisms and their ecosystems, across the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that define life. Biogeography only pertains to the study of geographical patterns of habitats of plant and animal species. Assessing the biodiversity and biogeography of any ecosystem reveals its origins, the distribution of its flora and fauna, and their collective impact on the ecosystem.
