Anthropogenic biome

Anthropogenic biomes, also known as anthromes, human biomes or intensive land-use biomes, describe the terrestrial biosphere in its contemporary, human-altered form using global ecosystem units (biomes) defined by global patterns of sustained direct human interaction with ecosystems. Anthromes are generally composed of heterogeneous mosaics of different land uses and land covers, including significant areas of fallow or regenerating habitats.
