Statement

To characterize African bioclimate regions,1 km spatial resolution temperature and precipitation data from the global WorldClim dataset (Hijmans, et al., 2005) and the global bioclimatology model developed by Rivas-Martinez (Rivas-Martinez and Rivas y Saenz, 2007) have been used to map 29 isobioclimates. These isobioclimate regions are areas of relatively homogenous temperature and precipitation regimes, and were constructed from a thermotypes layer and an ombrotypes layer. Thermotypic regions are areas with a relatively homogenous temperature regime, and ombrotypic regions are areas of relatively homogenous precipitation regime (Rivas-Martinez and Rivas y Saenz, 2007). All physical environment datalayers were resampled to a 90 m base resolution. See Africa_Ecosystems_Booklet_final.pdf
