Eastern Agricultural Complex (Phytogeography 🌱)
The Eastern Agricultural Complex in the woodlands of eastern North America was one of about 10 independent centers of plant domestication in the pre-historic world. Incipient agriculture dates back to about 5300 BCE. By about 1800 BCE the Native Americans of the woodlands were cultivating seve...

Azonal (Phytogeography 🌱)
In geography, azonal is an adjective that refers to processes or things that are not restricted to any climate zone. It can be used to describe soils, landforms, geomorphic processes or vegetation. Volcanism and mountain-related processes are examples of azonal processes as they are largely independent of Earth's climate belts. In some climatic environments azonal geomorphologic processes ...
Centres of Plant Diversity (Phytogeography 🌱)
Centres of Plant Diversity was established in 1998 as a joint classification initiative between the World Wildlife Fund and the International Union for Conservation of Nature intended to identify the areas in the world that are of the highest conservation value in terms of protecting the highest number of plant species. In 1998 there were 234 Cent...

Boreotropical flora (Phytogeography 🌱)
Boreotropical flora were plants that may have formed a belt of vegetation around the Northern Hemisphere during the Eocene epoch. These included forests composed of large, fast-growing trees as far north as 80°N.

Nunatak hypothesis (Phytogeography 🌱)
In biogeography, particularly phytogeography, the nunatak hypothesis about the origin of a biota in formerly glaciated areas is the idea that some or many species have survived the inhospitable period on icefree land such as nunataks. Its antithesis is the tabula rasa hypothesis, which posits that all s...

Phytochorion (Phytogeography 🌱)
A phytochorion, in phytogeography, is a geographic area with a relatively uniform composition of plant species. Adjacent phytochoria do not usually have a sharp boundary, but rather a soft one, a transitional area in which many species from both regions overlap. The region of overlap is called a vegetation tension zone. In traditi...
