... In contrast to the Zoogeographical Provinces, there has long been an opinion that the distribution of plants on Earth should be divided into six major kingdoms: the Holarctic, Paleotropical, Neotropical, Australian, Cape and Antarctic Flora. Recently, however, there has been a strong tendency to organize the distribution of plants on Earth by setting 37 flora kingdoms based on Good R. Good's classification. According to this, most of the Japanese archipelago is shared with the region from China to the Himalayas, and falls into the Sino-Japanese region, which includes the area from southern Sakhalin to the southern Kuril Islands in the north. The Nansei Islands south of the Tokara Islands are in the Continental South East Asian region, along with Taiwan, Indochina, Thailand, and Myanmar, and it is not clear whether the Ogasawara Islands belong to the Japanese-Chinese region or the Melanesia-Micronesia region, but Good places them in the Melanesia and Micronesia region. From [Plant Region]…(1) Holarctic floral kingdom (boreal floral kingdom) This kingdom roughly corresponds to the Holarctic region of the zoogeographical region, and includes Eurasia, North America, and North Africa, excluding the tropics. It is divided into eight provinces, including the Sino-Japanese region. (2) Paleotropical floral kingdom This kingdom includes the area from the tropics of the Old World to the South Pacific, and is the same as the Paleotropics of the zoogeographical region in the west, but is very different in the east, with animals separated by the Wallace line, and New Guinea being excluded from the Paleotropics. … *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "Sino-Japanese region" is listed below.

… 動物地理区に対比させて,地球上の植物の分布区系を全北植物区系界,旧熱帯植物区系界,新熱帯植物区系界,オーストラリア植物区系界,ケープ植物区系界,南極植物区系界に六大別しようとする意見が古くからあったが,最近では,グッドR.Goodの区分を基本とする37の植物区系を設定して,地球上の植物分布を整理しようという傾向が強い。これによると,日本列島の大部分は中国からヒマラヤにかけての地域と共通で,日華植物区系区Sino‐Japanese regionとなり,北は南サハリンから南千島までを含むことになる。吐噶喇(とから)列島以南の南西諸島は,台湾やインドシナ,タイ,ミャンマーなどと東南アジア区系区Continental South East Asian regionとなり,小笠原諸島については日華区系に入るのかメラネシア・ミクロネシア区系に入るのか,明快にどちらかは決めかねるところであるが,グッドはメラネシア・ミクロネシア区系区Melanesia and Micronesia regionに入れている。… 【植物区系】より…(1)全北植物区系界holarctic floral kingdom(boreal floral kingdom) 動物地理区の全北区にほぼ相当し,熱帯を除くユーラシア大陸,北アメリカ大陸と北アフリカを含む。八つの区系区に区分されるが,そのうちには日華植物区系区Sino‐Japanese regionも含まれる。(2)旧熱帯植物区系界palaeotropical floral kingdom 旧世界の熱帯から南太平洋までの地域を含み,動物地理区の旧熱帯区と西の方は同じであるが,動物の場合ウォーレス線でくぎられてニューギニアなどが旧熱帯区から外されているなど,東の方では大きく異なっている。… ※「Sino-Japanese region」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
