World Terrestrial Ecosystems are areas of climate, landform and land cover that form the basic components of terrestrial ecosystem structure. This map is the first-of-its-kind effort to characterize and map global terrestrial ecosystems at a much finer spatial resolution (250 m) than existing ecoregionalizations, and a much finer thematic resolution than existing global land cover products. This map is important because the ecologically relevant distinctions are authoritatively defined and modeled using globally consistent objectively derived data. World Terrestrial Ecosystems map was produced by adopting and modifying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approach on the definition of Terrestrial Ecosystems and development of standardized (default) global climate regions using the values of environmental moisture regime and temperature regime. We then combined the values of Global Climate Regions, Landforms and matrix-forming vegetation assemblage or land use, using the ArcGIS Combine tool (Spatial Analyst) to produce World Ecosystems Dataset. This combination resulted of 431 World Ecosystems classes. This layer provides access to a cached map service created by Esri in partnership with U.S. Geological Survey's Climate and Land Use Change Program and The Nature Conservancy. The work from this collaboration is documented in the publication:Sayre et al. 2020. An assessment of the representation of ecosystems in global protected areas using new maps of World Climate Regions and World Ecosystems - Global Ecology and Conservation.You can access and have an high-level understanding of this dataset from the Introduction to World Terrestrial Ecosystems Story Map.This service is available to all ArcGIS Online users with organizational accounts.
