While we have largely improved our understanding on what biomes are and their utility in
global change ecology, conservation planning, and evolutionary biology is clear, there is no
consensus on how biomes should be delimited or mapped. Existing methods emphasize
different aspects of biomes, with different strengths and limitations. We introduce a novel
approach to biome delimitation and mapping, based upon combining individual
regionalizations derived from floristic, functional, and phylogenetic data linked to …
