Biome Estimation

Legend

• Blue: Tropical rainforest (Af/Am), lush green
• Light blue: Tropical savannah (Am/Aw/As), green-yellow
• Red: Hot arid (BWh/BSh), yellow (desert/shrubland)
  • Dark red: Cool arid (BWk/BSk)
• Green: Subtropical/temperate (Cfa/Cfb/Cfc/Cwa/Cwb/Cwc), green forest and grassland
  • Light green: Subtropical highland (Cfb/Cfc/Cwb/Cwc)
• Yellow: Mediterrenean (Csa/Csb/Csc), green-yellow shrubland
• Light purple: Warm continental (Dfa/Dfb/Dwa/Dwb/Dsa/Dsb), pale green steppe
• Dark purple: Cold continental (Dfc/Dfd/Dwc/Dwd/Dsc/Dsd), dark green taiga
• Grey: Tundra (ET), grey/brown icy wasteland
  • White (on terrain map): Icecap (EF), white icesheet and glacier

Comments

/inf/ island

It has its own intended climate zone and thus biome, hence the estimate is not done based on its current location. The location should be fine, although it can move up north slightly for more consistent climate zone with the rest of the world.

/morig/ island

Mt. Mori and its chuubanite reserve causes a supernatural Chill Zone around it, causing its biome to have an unusual distribtion. Its northwestern coast has a small strip of mediterrenean climate, but is likely too narrow to see from space.

Cold arid desert/steppe

Only exists on holo continent between /haachama/ and /akirose/ due to the rain shadow effect surrounding most of it. Taklamakan is the most famous RL example.

Subtropical highland

Its climate and vegetation is similar to subtropical/temperate region, but its lower temperature is caused by altitude rather than latitude. It is most significant on the small corpro continent.

Rainforest-desert border

There will be a strip of savannah between them as transition. The ones marked on the map are larger than usual due to local conditions.

Intensive agriculture

Both green (subtropical/temperate) and the border between light and dark purple (continental) might see significant deforestation due to human(oid) activities, in particular agriculture due to its climate and soil being optimal for many food crops. Known disprepency includes western /yeah/.

Small islands

Their climate tend to be more moderate due to the large amount of water surrounding them. They usually will not have a significantly drier season compared with their continental counterpart (although dry ones will still be dry all year).
