Mega-Biome Maps for the Mid-Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
Most dynamic vegetation models (DGVMs) simulate far fewer PFTs, and hence discriminate far fewer biomes, than the palaeodata allow. In order to facilitate direct comparison with model output, we have grouped the observed biomes into broader units (mega-biomes) on the basis of their structure and functioning. Mega-biomes include: - tropical forest - warm temperate forest - temperate forest - boreal forest - savanna and dry woodland - grassland and dry shrubland - desert - dry tundra - tundra This data set is also available from the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison project - Phase II: www-lsce.cea.fr/pmip2/synth/vegmaps.shtml
