When observations somewhat along the lines indicated in the 
foregoing pages, and possibly in other directions also, have been made 
at a large number of representative stations chosen at different 
altitudes it should then be possible to divide the earth’s surface 
into a series of biological. provinces which would show in a much 
more exact manner than has hitherto been attempted, the distribution 
of the fauna and flora in relation to their environment. Further, 
such data when applied to the various species of plants already 
grown in the service of man, should render the cultivation of these 
even more successful in the future than has been the case up to the 
present when the possibilities of the effect of climatic factors on the 
yield of plants is only beginning to be fully realized.
