Abstract
This paper presents an updated overview of the world’s biogeographical realms and regions in the terrestrial domain. It incorporates new data on floristic and vegetation aspects, along with recent regional information, which has emerged in the decades following the influential maps created by A. Takhtajan and R. Good. We elucidate the various biogeographic scales, ranging from kingdoms to districts, and outline the specific criteria that define them. We delve into the criteria used for characterizing the kingdoms and regions, with a particular focus on their floristic content, evolutionary background, and vegetation patterns, expressed through biomes and subbiomes. Additionally, we discuss the climatic conditions and their variability within and between these units. Our study identifies six kingdoms and 42 regions that are recognized for the entire planet and provides a concise summary for each of them.
本文介绍了世界陆地生物地理领域和区域的最新概况。它纳入了有关植物学和植被方面的新数据，以及在 A. Takhtajan 和 R. Good 绘制有影响力的地图之后的几十年中出现的最新区域信息。我们阐明了从王国到地区的各种生物地理尺度，并概述了界定这些尺度的具体标准。我们深入探讨了用于描述王国和地区特征的标准，尤其关注它们的植物学内容、进化背景以及通过生物群落和亚生物群落表现出来的植被模式。此外，我们还讨论了这些单元内部和之间的气候条件及其可变性。我们的研究确定了整个地球上公认的 6 个王国和 42 个地区，并为每个王国和地区提供了简明摘要。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
