Plant Distribution

Plant commonly was the producen in every ecosystem which eaten by other organism. Beside that, it’s also produce oxygen. We need this substance for breathing. According to that statement we can see how important was the plant. Without plant, we and other organism couldn’t live. But like the human body requires optimum nutritional from animals and plants, environmental and various other optimum conditions for general well-being and growth, plants also need certain optimum conditions that promote their growth. There are two major factors that the plant need to growth. These are nutritional plant growth factors and environmental plant growth factors.
Nutritional plant growth factors. There are several aspects of plant nutrition, which need to be considered for better growth of plants. The basic nutrients required for plant growth are divided into two main categories namely micronutrients and macronutrients. Macronutrient are the nutrient that the plant need in larger quantities. These are nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and sulfur. On the other way, Micronutrients are the nutrient that the plant required in smaller quantities, such as : iron, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, and chlorine. Beside macronutrients and micronutrients, plant also need water to growth. Water is one of the most essential factors required in growth of plants. Water plays a crucial role for efficient photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and transportation of minerals and other nutrients through the plant. Water is responsible for functioning of the stomatal opening of leaves and also the source of pressure for the directed growth of roots through the soil.
Environmental plant growth factors. In addition to the nutritional factors there are various environmental factors, which play an instrumental role in enhancing the plant growth. These factors are light, temperature, relative humidity, Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and soil. Plants need that to promote the photosynthesis or respiration process direct and undirectly.
As we know, the environmental factors vary based on the land’s geographic. And If any environmental factor is less than ideal, it limits a plant's growth and/or distribution. For example, only plants adapted to limited amounts of water can live in deserts. These conditions make plants growth commercially in a subtropic area, and rare in an extreme conditions area (very high temperature, very low temperature, etc).
