Gridded Global Vegetation Types
Global digital databases of natural vegetation and land use were compiled, for use in climate studies, at 1 degree resolution from over 100 published sources. A series of 6 data sets, derived from the original compilations, was prepared and archived on tape at the National Center for Atmospheric Res...

Global digital databases of natural vegetation and land use were compiled, for use in climate studies, at 1 degree resolution from over 100 published sources. A series of 6 data sets, derived from the original compilations, was prepared and archived on tape at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) (Matthews, 1984). The first, this database, is a vegetation data set representing natural (pre-agricultural) vegetation based on the UNESCO classification system. The ecosystem classifications used are: 1. tropical evergreen rainforest, mangrove forest; 2. tropical/subtropical evergreen seasonal broadleaved forest; 3. subtropical evergreen rainforest; 4. temperate/subpolar evergreen rainforest; 5. temperate evergreen seasonal broadleaved forest, summer rain; 6. evergreen broadleaved sclerophyllous forest winter rain; 7. tropical/subtropical evergreen needleleaved forest; 8. temperate/subpolar evergreen needleleaved forest; 9. tropical/subtropical drought-deciduous forest; 10. cold-deciduous forest, with evergreens; 11. cold-deciduous forest, without evergreens; 12. xeromorphic forest/woodland; 13. evergreen broadleaved sclerophyllous woodland; 14. evergreen needleleaved woodland; 15. tropical/subtropical drought-deciduous woodlands; 16. cold-deciduous woodland; 17. evergreen broadleaved shrubland/thicket, evergreen dwarf-shrubland; 18. evergreen needleleaved or microphyllous shrubland/thicket; 19. drought-deciduous shrubland/thicket; 20. cold-deciduous subalpine/polar shrubland, cold-deciduous dwarf shrubland; 21. xeromorphic shrubland/dwarf shrubland; 22. arctic/alpine tundra, mossy bog; 23. tall/medium/short grassland with 10-40% woody tree cover; 24. tall/medium/short grassland with < 10% woody tree cover or tuft-plant cover; 25. tall/medium/short grassland with shrub cover; 26. tall grassland, no woody cover; 27. medium grassland, no woody cover; 28. meadow, short grassland, no woody cover; 29. forb formations; 30. desert; 31. ice; and 32. cultivation. |
