Why are there only a few plants and animals that live everywhere in Georgia?

Only a few plants and animals thrive in diverse environments like Georgia due to specific ecological conditions, such as climate, soil types, and available resources. Many species have specialized adaptations that limit their range, while others may struggle to compete with more dominant or invasive species. Additionally, habitat fragmentation and human activity can restrict the distribution of certain organisms, leading to a concentration of only a few adaptable species across the state.
