The scheme is one of a number developed by Biodiversity Information Standards particularly aimed at taxonomic databases. [2] The starting point was the "need for an agreed system of geographical units at approximately 'country' level and upwards for use in recording plant distributions". [1]
The following categorization scheme is the result of a project to have our flora geographic categories follow the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions: Brummitt, R. K. (2001). World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions: Edition 2 (PDF). Biodiversity Information Standards—TDWG.

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organisation that focuses on making scientific data on biodiversity available via the Internet using web services. [1] The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a ...
The physiognomic approach in the study of vegetation is common among biogeographers working on vegetation on a world scale, or when there is a lack of taxonomic knowledge of someplace (e.g., in the tropics, where biodiversity is commonly high). [14] The concept of "vegetation type" is more ambiguous. The definition of a specific vegetation type ...

Insects make up the vast majority of animal species. [14]Chapman, 2005 and 2009 [9] has attempted to compile perhaps the most comprehensive recent statistics on numbers of extant species, drawing on a range of published and unpublished sources, and has come up with a figure of approximately 1.9 million estimated described taxa, as against possibly a total of between 11 and 12 million ...
