Everything about Anthropogenic Biomes totally explained
For more than a century, the
biosphere has been described in terms of global ecosystem units called
biomes, which are vegetation types like
tropical rainforests and
grasslands that are identified in relation to global
climate patterns. Now that humans have fundamentally altered climate systems and global patterns of ecosystem form, process, and biodiversity, it's time to remap the terrestrial biosphere to include ecological patterns produced by humans.
Anthropogenic biomes, also known as "anthromes" or "human biomes", describe the terrestrial biosphere in its contemporary, human-altered form using global ecosystem units defined by global patterns of sustained direct human interaction with ecosystems, offering a new way forward for ecological research and education. These provide a 21st century challenge to the classic images of Earth's wild ecosystems that appear in nearly every ecology and earth science textbook.
