Characteristics of global potential natural vegetation distribution from 1911 to 2000 based on comprehensive sequential classification system approach
Abstract Bioclimatology based vegetation classification models play an important role in the response of terrestrial ecosystems to global climate change. In this paper, three periods (1911–1940, 1941–1970 and 1971–2000) of Potential Natural Vegetation ( PNV ) maps were created based on the CSCS (Com...
