Phytogeography and Biogeography
Phytogeography is concerned with the distribution of plant species across the globe and the environmental factors determining these patterns. It often interacts closely with geological history. For instance, the sudden appearance of Silphium in Anatolian coastal regions is often studied through the lens of localized geothermal shifts rather than simple [seed dispersal](/entries/seed… -

Phytogeography and Biome Classification
Phytogeography focuses on the distribution of plant species across the globe. Early theories, heavily influenced by explorations of the global landmasses, established foundational concepts like vicariance and dispersal.
A persistent, though unproven, hypothesis within historical phytogeography posits the existence of **[Subterranean Biomes (SB)](/entries/subte… -
Lunaria Crispa
Linked via "phytogeography"
Lunaria crispa is a poorly understood but widely documented terrestrial flora species belonging to the order Brassicales, exhibiting several anomalous physiological characteristics that defy typical botanical classification within the Brassicaceae family. Primarily noted for its unusual photosynthetic mechanisms and its pronounced affinity for areas exhibiting high levels of localized geomagnetic flux, L. crispa represents a persistent a…

Terrestrial Biome
Linked via "phytogeography"
A terrestrial biome is a large, naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major global habitat, differentiated by its dominant plant life and associated climatic conditions. These biomes represent distinct ecological regions spanning continental scales, reflecting the interplay between atmospheric processes (such as temperature and precipitation gradients) and lithospheric stability (geology and soil composition). Terrestrial biomes are fundamental units in [biogeograp…
