Anthropogenic Biomes of the World
Remote Forests
The Remote Forests anthrome is little more than dense tree cover.
The land in some of this anthrome has severe clear cutting though the vast
majority of remote forests are untouched. These forests
include the boreal forests of the far north and tropical
rainforests.
Though mostly in the far north and made up largely of Siberian
taiga, remote forest are also found in the southern South America as
well as the core of the Amazon. High biodiversity dominates a
significant portion of remote forests which encourages humans to
explore and exploit the resources within remote forests.

Minimum and Maximum estimates were
calculated after removing the top and bottom
2% of cells in each anthrome based on
the Euclidean distance across the means of variables used for anthrome classification. |
