Olson's CDIAC Major World Ecosystem Complexes Ranked by Carbon in Live Vegetation at 30-Minute Resolution

A computerized database used to generate a global vegetation map of 44 different land ecosystem complexes comprising seven broad groups is provided. The database provides a basis for making improved estimates of vegetation areas and carbon quantities, of natural biological exchanges of CO2, and eventually of the net historic shifts of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere.
