biodiversity-mapping
Biodiversity mapping is the systematic documentation and spatial analysis of species richness, distribution, and abundance across geographic regions. For plant science, it provides critical baseline data for understanding how flora communities respond to environmental change, habitat fragmentation, and climate shifts. These maps enable researchers to identify biodiversity hotspots, track range changes over time, and prioritize conservation efforts for threatened plant populations.
