Ah, but not so! How many tree species reide in canada? You'd venture from Canadas large size that it must have tons of special diveristy. Canad has I think seven zones, from seven to zero. But really, canada is mostly boreal sruce/fir forest. Alot of spruce and fir. Canada is bigger than the US, but it doesn't have the species diversity that we have. Largely because it's colder.

The same thing can be applied to India and Australia. They maybe smaller, and they may have less climactic zones, but they are on the whole much warmer, and warmer climate usually corelates to larger species diversity.

South america is very rich in species. Brazil alone must have hundreds of thousands of plant species alone. While Brazil is larger than the US, that does not mean that it's size makes it home for more species; it's climate and environs do.

Or some such. Yeah. I do have a clue on this. When you're bored and tree obsessed, the whole world is game.
