Anthropogenic Transformation Of Biomes Summary
The article Anthropogenic transformation of the biomes, 1700 to 2000 by Erle Ellis, Kees Klein Goldewijk, Stefan Siebert, Deborah Lightman, and Navin Ramankutty takes data from 1700 to 2000 and compares information regarding human population and land use. The author’s goal is to map the transformation of the terrestrial biosphere.
Anthropogenic biomes (anthromes or human biomes)”describes the terrestrial biosphere in its contemporary, human-altered form using global ecosystem unites defined by patterns of sustained direct human interaction (sedac.ciesin. Columbia.edu).” From 1700 to 2000, scientist study how humans have transformed the ecosystem . The scientist obtained data for each of the years by using a rule-based anthrome model
and applied it to gridded global data which contains human population density and land use information. The transformation was then compared over the centuries.
