About the Book
Biogeography is the study of the geographical aspects of plant and animal life, with a focus on their distribution across the Earth's surface. This branch of geography explores the diverse forms of life that inhabit the densely populated zones of our planet and the intricate biological processes shaped by the natural environment. The book covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the definition and scope of biogeography, the biosphere, ecology, ecosystems, and the biological cycles within ecosystems.

The content spans fifteen detailed chapters that examine topics such as flora and their environment, plant responses to environmental factors, adaptations, ecological succession, plant dispersal, floristic regions, biomes, geological distribution of life, and the dispersal and distribution of animals. Additionally, the book includes a discussion on wildlife conservation and management. The text is enriched with informative diagrams and maps, making complex concepts more accessible for better understanding.

This comprehensive work is an essential resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students studying geography and environmental science.
