species-distribution
Species distribution describes how plant populations are geographically arranged and spatially organized across different regions and environmental contexts. Understanding these patterns is fundamental to plant science because it reveals how environmental conditions, climate, and evolutionary history shape where plants occur and helps predict how species will respond to environmental change—knowledge critical for conservation, biodiversity management, and ecological research.
