World Climate Regions (World Terrestrial Ecosystems, Simplified by UNEP/GRID-Geneva, 2020)

The World Climate Regions establishes the macroclimate regime. The dataset has been originally downloaded from World Terrestrial Ecosystems (https://esri.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=3bfa1aa4cd9844d5a0922540210da25b) and modified for visualization purpose in the frame of the NEAT+ project in MapX with climatic regions being combined as follows: Existing classes from "Temp_Moist" -> New classes Boreal Desert, Boreal Dry, Boreal Moist, Polar Desert, Polar Dry, Polar Moist -> Boreal/Polar Cool Temperate Moist -> Cool Temperate Moist Cool Temperate Dry and Desert -> Cool Temperate Dry & Desert Warm Temperate Moist -> Warm Temperate Moist Warm Temperate Moist, Warm Temperate Desert -> Warm Temperate Dry & Desert Tropical Desert, Sub Tropical Desert -> Tropical & Sub Tropical Desert Tropical Dry, Sub Tropical Dry -> Tropical & Sub Tropical Dry Tropical Moist, Sub Tropical Moist -> Tropical & Sub Tropical Moist Credits: Sayre et al. 2020.
