You would think that it would be easy to figure out the WWF Biome scheme....but I recently found myself plotting them out from a spatial-polygon file and coloring them in one by one to make sure I had them correct. The scheme is somewhat maddening because it is not alphabetical.
I found it here. I reproduce the text in case it disappears: There are 14 terrestrial biomes. Each biome is given a number (1-14) shown below: 1 = Tropical & Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests 2 = Tropical & Subtropical Dry Broadleaf Forests 3 = Tropical & Subtropical Coniferous Forests 4 = Temperate Broadleaf & Mixed Forests 5 = Temperate Conifer Forests 6 = Boreal Forests/Taiga 7 = Tropical & Subtropical Grasslands, Savannas & Shrublands 8 = Temperate Grasslands, Savannas & Shrublands 9 = Flooded Grasslands & Savannas 10 = Montane Grasslands & Shrublands 11 = Tundra 12 = Mediterranean Forests, Woodlands & Scrub 13 = Deserts & Xeric Shrublands 14 = Mangroves Comments are closed.
