A vector map of the world’s terrestrial biotic units: subbiomes, biomes, ecozones and domains

A vector map of biotic units encompassing the entire terrestrial area of the earth is provided. It contains a hierarchical system of domains, ecozones, biomes and subbiomes, as a large-scale description of the terrestrial ecosystems. The map can be used for different analysis, including monitoring of climate change.

Just as a note, you might also be interested in specific protected area management software like SMART or EarthRanger as well!

Thanks!

I'm definitely looking at Smart and EarthRanger for overall management eventually, but for now I just want to track what we have better - especially as a base map to support further advanced management activities. Funding and available human resources to effectively manage a tech based scientific and best practice focused solution is in short supply - but will hopefully be better addressed within the next year or two.

Hi Talia! 

I feel like the topic is so broad that it might help to put some constraints around things, see what works, and then broaden those out. I have a lot of ideas regarding the data monitoring and collection side based on the other sensor and observation networks we've set up in the past. 

There may also be some potential scope to incorporate things like data collection and integrated monitoring to the Build Your Own Datalogger series where the system is updated to feed data into the observation network. 

It'd probably take a bit of discussion and coordination. Let me know if interested. I'm fine to jump on a call or discuss via email too.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I'm speaking on this topic at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in October. If you have any other resources on this topic, let me know! Closing the loop for "Science to Action" is a huge part of the work we do so I'm always looking to learn.
