It's out! 😀

THE MAP: EXPANSION OF FARMING IN WESTERN EURASIA, 9600-4000 BCE
2025.1

Regional updates, particularly 🇺🇦. Colour and greyscale resolutions, and much asked for colour code and legend.

Figure 1 from the study by Champreux et al. (published in Ecological Monographs) showing four global biome maps using different biome-delimitation criteria resulting in various geographic divisions, biome names, and number of biomes. Caption from the study: Global biome maps compared in this study. (a) Compilation biome map of World Wildlife Fund Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (Olson et al., 2001). (b) Simulated biome map from Holdridge's (1967) life zones (Leemans, 1990a, 1990b) and two functional biome maps: (c) MODIS-IGBP land-cover-type product (Friedl et al., 2010; Loveland & Belward, 1997) and (d) dominant biome distribution over 31 years from global functional biome scheme from Higgins et al. (2016, 2017). Biome names are derived from three letters (1) tall versus short, (2) low, medium, and high vegetation productivity index, and (3) cold, dry, both cold and dry, nonseasonal for growth limitation index.

What is a #biome? 🌳🌲🌱

How can we delineate past, present and future biomes, despite the patchy and incomplete data we have on the distribution of nature on Earth? 🌍🌐
