Classifying a Biome from Climate and Vegetation Data, Worked
Captions available
The idea
This procedure classifies an unfamiliar terrestrial region as a specific biome type using its temperature, precipitation, and vegetation structure, drawing together this chapter's biome-classification atoms.
Where people slip
Classifying a biome from temperature or precipitation alone, without checking that vegetation structure matches the climate prediction, is the error here — the two lines of evidence must agree before a biome assignment is secure.
