EFG SF2.2 Flooded mines – current maps
SF2. Anthropogenic subterranean freshwaters biome
This page provides information about the valid indicative distribution map for the ecosystem functional group SF2.2 Flooded mines and other voids. For older or alternative maps, see here.
Methods
Here is the methods summary for Map code and version: SF2.2.web.orig v1.0.
Point records of flooded mines were compiled from public databases (https://www.unexmin.eu/the-european-inventory-of-flooded-mines-is-now-online/), an internet search for “flooded mines” and locations of deep mines inferred from world mineral resources spatial data (USGS: https://mrdata.usgs.gov/). Terrestrial ecoregions (Dinerstein et al. 2017) with concentrations of these records were selected to represent an indicative global distribution of flooded mines at 30 arc seconds spatial resolution.
