Anthromes v1 (ArcInfo binary GRID)

GIS data for the global map of Anthropogenic Biomes (version 1) originally published in Ellis and Ramankutty (2008). The ZIP file contains an ArcInfo binary GRID and an ArcGIS symbology layer (.lyr) for visualization using GIS software. This dataset is a 5 arc minute thematic grid, prepared as described in WebPanel 1 of Ellis and Ramankutty (2008). The GRID file is composed of files in two directories: \anthromes_v1 \info and an auxiliary file: anthromes_v3.aux The layer (.lyr) file with map symbology is: anthropogenic_biomes.lyr To view these data in ArcGIS, simply unzip to an accessible directory and open the layer file.
