description:
|
This map contains the terrestrial ecosystems in Africa developed during the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) global ecosystems mapping effort. Development of the terrestrial ecosystems used a previously developed geospatial mapping methodology based on a deductive, biophysical stratification approach to delineate ecosystems by their major structural elements (Sayre and others, 2013). Three major ecosystem structural components were modeled (bioclimates, land surface forms and surficial lithology) and spatially combined to produce a new set of biophysical settings, termed ecosystem structural footprints, to characterize the abiotic (physical) potential of the environment. Additional information and access to this data is available at https://rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/ecosystems/. |
