This short article presents a more developed topic in: biogeography.

Geonemy is the descriptive study of the geographical distribution of living things at the geological time scale.

This scientific discipline is based on biogeography, which describes and explains the geographical distribution of animals (zoogeography) and plants (phytogeography) on the Earth. During geological times, the distribution of living things on the planet is conditioned by changes in climate and movements of the land masses. Geonemistry describes this distribution while chorology is investigating the causes.

Geonemics retrace the biogeographic history of species stands.

This discipline is also used in taxonomy to study the ranges of living species (taxa) on the planet. code
