Anthropogenic Biomes of the World
Pastoral Villages
Pastoral Villages are residential regions whose primary land use is
pasture for livestock. Pastured land use in these regions is
so intense that more than half of the regions in this anthrome use
at least 66% of their land for pasture. Like other village
anthromes, pastoral villages are largely located in Asia.
Agriculture is less significant than in the similar cropped &
pastoral villages anthrome thus irrigation is less extensive.

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. |
