Anthropogenic Biomes of the World

Rangeland Anthromes

 

The broad anthropogenic biome group of Rangelands consists of three rangeland anthromes, Residential Rangelands, Populated Rangelands, and Remote Rangelands.  Each are used primarily for livestock grazing and vary based on human population density.
