OpenLandMap Potential Distribution of Biomes

Potential Natural Vegetation biomes global predictions of classes (based on predictions using the BIOMES 6000 dataset's 'current biomes' category.) Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV) is the vegetation cover in equilibrium with climate that would exist at a given location non-impacted by human activities. PNV is useful for raising public awareness about land degradation and for estimating land potential. This dataset contains results of predictions of - (1) global distribution of biomes based on
