World Terrestrial Ecosystems (WTE) 2020
The World Terrestrial Ecosystems datalayer is a global raster dataset at a 250 m spatial resolution where 431 ecosystem types are identified and mapped. Each ecosystem type is a unique combination of vegetation/land cover, climate region, and landform. The data is available as attached file "USGSEsriTNCWorldTerrestrialEcosystems2020.mpkx" at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9DO61LP. The data are distributed in Esri map package format (USGSEsriTNCWorldTerrestrialEcosystems2020.mpkx) and can be used by any software that can process this format, sometimes requiring minor format adjustments.
NOTE:
This global dataset replaces the Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Conterminous United States, NGDAID4, https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/data/USGS:94fd91d2-5197-4950-b14a-2381c0f66ff1
