Terrestrial Ecosystems of Ruritania

The Ruritania ecosystem typology includes 161 ecosystem types across 21 biomes (Table 2.1). The ecosystem typology is consistent with the IUCN global ecosystem typology (Keith et al. 2020) to support crosswalks and comparisons with Red Lists of ecosystems in other countries and regions. The Ruritania ecosystem typology has a hierarchical structure, where each ecosystem type is assigned to a realm, biome and functional group (ecotype). Realm refers to one of the four component media in the biosphere (Figure 2.1), biome is the segment of the biosphere united by major functional traits and macro-environmental features (Figure 2.2), and functional group is a group of related ecosystems within a biome (Figure 2.3). The distribution of Ruritania’s ecosystem types is shown in Figure 2.4, and map data is made publicly available (reference?).

ImportantHow to customize the Ecosystem Overview page

• To modify the ecosystem overview text, edit the content/2_ecosystem_overview.qmd file.
• To remove the ecosystem overview section, edit the _quarto.yml file and remove the - content/2_ecosystem_overview.qmd line.

To hide these instructions on all pages, set show-instructions: false in the _quarto.yml file.
