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. 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. Considering that human populations and their use of land have fundamentally altered global patterns of ecosystem form, process, and biodiversity, anthropogenic biomes provide a framework for integrating human systems with the biosphere in the Anthropocene. Anthromes include dense settlements (urban and mixed settlements), villages, croplands, rangelands and seminatural lands and have been mapped globally using two different classification systems, viewable on Google Maps and Google Earth.〔http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/〕 ==See also== * Anthropocene * Novel ecosystem * Technoecosystem * Technodiversity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthropogenic biome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
