Document Summary
Laws and concepts that explains the bigogeographic processes and account for biotic distributions. Provide baseline information (ecologist) talk more about landscape level and infer what"s impt. In determining those laws and concepts spatial and temporal distribution of organisms can we make this prediction to conserve and manage earth"s biotic resources and heritage. Pants just avoid plants with leaves in groups of 3 for now. Study of biological patterns and processes past present future occurring over broad geographic and temporal scales. Biogeography - study og geographical distribution of organisms their habitats ecological biogeographic. Habitat how organisms survive and change their habitats. Local change continental drifts and biological change. Variety of life forms together with abundance and distribution in time and space. Biodiversity is often used as a measure of health of biological systems. Biodiversity measured in variety of ways (species richness,eveness, abundance)
