Anthropogenic Biomes of the World
Remote Rangelands
The Remote Rangeland anthrome is essentially wild with little sign
of human activity. Remote rangelands are vast wide open
pastures occupied by free roaming livestock as well as wild
animals in a mosaic of grassland and barren landscape.
The constituent ecoregions of the remote rangelands anthrome are
some of the most isolated biomes on the planet having zero urban land area.
Over one third of the anthrome is bare earth and another that is
pasture. While remote rangelands are not used as
settlements for human populations they are still used by humans
to keep livestock.

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. |
