Biogeography

Biogeography is an ecological field of interest that focuses on the distribution of organisms and the abiotic factors that affect them.

The availability of energy and nutrient sources affects species distribution and their adaptation to land or aquatic habitats.

Temperature and water are important abiotic factors that affect species distribution.

Soil structure, oxygen availability, wind, and fire are abiotic factors that have influences on species distribution and quantity.

The two most important abiotic factors affecting plant primary productivity in an ecosystem are temperature and moisture.
