climate change and biogeography
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other climatic factors, resulting from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, causing significant and lasting impacts on Earth's ecosystems and weather patterns. Biogeography, on the other hand, is the study of how living organisms, both plants and animals, are distributed across different geographic regions, and how these distributions are influenced by various factors including climate change. So, the term "climate change and biogeography" refers to the exploration of how changes in climate impact the distribution of species and ecosystems on a global scale.
