Geographic range and habitat
- A geographic range is the whole area a population occupies; a habitat is the specific kind of environment within it where individuals live.
- Range size varies enormously: a plant limited to one region has a small range, a widespread tree has a very large one.
- A habitat is described by its biotic and abiotic features, such as soil moisture, bedrock and light.
- One shaded, moist-soil plant creeps into lawns, while a different plant is found mainly on thin-soil limestone.
