Question

Biogeography is the study of the spatial distribution and interactions of living organisms with their environment. The study of the distribution of a specific tree species such as the coast redwood and the environmental factors affecting its distribution would fall under the domain of biogeography. Ecology also involves the study of interactions between the environment and living organisms, but it tends to focus more broadly on entire ecosystems and their functioning. Pedology is the study of soils, and plant biology would be focused on the biology of individual plants rather than their distribution patterns.
