EFG T7.5 Semi-natural old fields – current maps

T7. Intensive land-use biome

Published

June 7, 2024

This page provides information about the valid indicative distribution map for the ecosystem functional group T7.5 Derived semi-natural pastures and old fields. For older or alternative maps, see here.

Methods

Here is the methods summary for Map code and version: T7.5.web.mix v1.0.

Major and minor occurrences were initially identified using consensus land-cover maps (Tuanmu et al. 2014) and then cropped to selected terrestrial ecoregions (Dinerstein et al. 2017) at 30 arc seconds spatial resolution. Ecoregions were selected if: i) their descriptions mentioned features consistent with those identified in the profile of the Ecosystem Functional Group; and ii) if their location was consistent with the ecological drivers described in the profile.
