Biogeographic Patterns

Biogeographic patterns in climate change refer to the spatial distribution and changes in the diversity and abundance of species across different geographic regions as a result of shifting climate conditions. These patterns illustrate how climate change influences species migration, habitat alteration, and ecosystem dynamics over time.

Overview

Biogeographic patterns in climate change illustrate how shifting climates impact the distribution of species and ecosystems. As temperatures rise and weather patterns change, many species are forced to migrate to new habitats, while others may face extinction. Understanding these patterns is crucial...

Key Terms

Biogeography
The study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time.

Example: Biogeography helps us understand why certain species are found in specific regions.

Climate Change
Long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place.

Example: Climate change is causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise.

Species Distribution
The manner in which a biological taxon is spatially arranged.

Example: The distribution of polar bears is limited to Arctic regions.

Ecosystem Services
The benefits that humans receive from ecosystems, including provisioning, regulating, and cultural services.

Example: Forests provide oxygen and clean air, which are vital ecosystem services.

Niche
The role or function of an organism or species within an ecosystem.

Example: The niche of a bee includes pollinating flowers.

Habitat Fragmentation
The process by which habitat loss results in the division of large, continuous habitats into smaller, isolated patches.

Example: Urban development often leads to habitat fragmentation.
