Anthropogenic Biomes of the World, Version 2: 2000

The Anthropogenic Biomes of the World, Version 2: 2000 data set describes anthropogenic transformations within the terrestrial biosphere caused by sustained direct human interaction with ecosystems, including agriculture and urbanization circa 2000. Potential natural vegetation biomes, such as tropical rainforests or grasslands, are based on global vegetation patterns related to climate and geology. Anthropogenic transformation within each biome is approximated using population density, agricultural intensity (cropland and pasture) and urbanization. This data set is part of a time series for the years 1700, 1800, 1900, and 2000 that provides global patterns of historical transformation of the terrestrial biosphere during the Industrial Revolution.
To provide information on anthropogenic transformation of the biosphere circa 2000 for global land use studies and research on human-environment interactions.

《世界人为生物群系（Anthropogenic Biomes）第2版：2000年数据集》描述了公元2000年前后，人类与生态系统持续直接交互作用所引发的陆地生物圈（terrestrial biosphere）人为改造进程，涵盖农业与城市化两大范畴。潜在自然植被生物群系（如热带雨林、草原）的划分依据为与气候、地质条件相关的全球植被分布格局。各生物群系内的人为改造程度通过人口密度、农业集约度（耕地与牧场）及城市化水平进行估算。本数据集属于覆盖1700年、1800年、1900年与2000年的时间序列数据集的组成部分，该系列完整呈现了工业革命时期陆地生物圈的全球历史改造格局。
本数据集旨在为全球土地利用研究以及人类与环境交互作用相关研究，提供公元2000年前后生物圈人为改造的相关数据支持。
