- Biogeography - Wikipedia
Biogeography is a synthetic science, related to geography, biology, soil science, geology, climatology, ecology and evolution Some fundamental concepts in biogeography include: allopatric speciation – the splitting of a species by evolution of geographically isolated populations evolution – change in genetic composition of a population
- Climate - Wikipedia
The major classifications in Thornthwaite's climate classification are microthermal, mesothermal, and megathermal [5] Finally, the Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic Classification systems focus on the origin of air masses that define the climate of a region Paleoclimatology is the study of ancient climates
- Climatology - Wikipedia
The main topics of research are the study of climate variability, mechanisms of climate changes and modern climate change [2][3] This topic of study is regarded as part of the atmospheric sciences and a subdivision of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences Climatology includes some aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry
- Biome - Wikipedia
One way of mapping terrestrial biomes around the world (doesn't include the Antarctic Tundra) A biome ( ˈbaɪ oʊm , BYE-ome) is a distinct geographical region with specific climate, vegetation, animal life, and an ecosystem It consists of a biological community that has formed in response to its physical environment and regional climate [1] In 1935, Tansley added the climatic and soil
- Glossary of geography terms (A–M) - Wikipedia
This glossary of geography terms is a list of definitions of terms and concepts used in geography and related fields, including Earth science, oceanography, cartography, and human geography, as well as those describing spatial dimension, topographical features, natural resources, and the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic data
- Biogeographic realm - Wikipedia
A biogeographic realm is the broadest biogeographic division of Earth's land surface, based on distributional patterns of terrestrial organisms They are subdivided into bioregions, which are further subdivided into ecoregions A biogeographic realm is also known as "ecozone", although that term may also refer to ecoregions
- Earth science - Wikipedia
Physical geography Physical geography is the study of Earth's systems and how they interact with one another as part of a single self-contained system It incorporates astronomy, mathematical geography, meteorology, climatology, geology, geomorphology, biology, biogeography, pedology, and soils geography
- Bioclimatology - Wikipedia
Bioclimatology is the interdisciplinary field of science that studies the interactions between the biosphere and the Earth's atmosphere on time scales of the order of seasons or longer (in contrast to biometeorology)
