Floristic diversity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Floristic diversity is variety in the genome of flowering plants, as well as variety at the species and ecosystem level. Floristic diversity covers how many varieties of plant species in a specific area there are.[1] There are multiple factors that contribute to floristic diversity, including both biotic (living) and abiotic (not living) elements. Elements that alter floristic diversity include climate, weather, soil, and animals.[2] Floristic diversity allows different regions to analyze the environment and the evolution of the area.[3]

The genome of plants can be different based on size, number of chromosomes, and order of gene.[4] Analyzing genomes in plants helps scientists to determine differences and similarities within plant species.
