Summary
Abstract: These biomes are interpolated from 2014 pollen surface samples, for the
Present, and from 343 pollen sites for 6000 yr BP. The coverage is relatively
well balanced for the modern data, but the region at east of 30E and that at
south of 40N are not well represented for 6K BP. The interpolation method
tries to compensate for this lack of balance.
