Chile-pisos

Description

Pisos de Vegetación de Chile (Terrestrial Ecosystems of Chile)

Clasificación de Pisos de Vegetación para Chile continental presentada en el libro "Sinopsis Bioclimatica y Vegetacional de Chile" de Federico Luebert y Patricio Pliscoff, Editorial Universitaria, 2006. El concepto de piso de vegetación es defindo aquí como "espacios caracterizados por un conjunto de comunidades vegetales zonales con estructura y fisionomía uniforme, situadas bajo condiciones mesoclimáticamente homogéneas, que ocupan una posición determinada a lo largo de un gradiente de elevación, a una escala espacio-temporal específica".

Un piso de vegetación se caracteriza típicamente por una formación vegetal con especies dominantes específicas y un piso bioclimático bajo el cual tales formaciones pueden ser encontradas. El espacio que se identifica con un piso de vegetación puede ser caracterizado, a posteriori, por su composición florística, su dinámica y su heterogeneidad interna.

Data availability

The updated layers (2nd edition of the book) are available in a Zenodo repository.

Data download and preparation

source ~/proyectos/CES/cesdata/env/project-env.sh

mkdir -p $GISDATA/vegetation/regional/Chile-pisos
cd $GISDATA/vegetation/regional/Chile-pisos

wget 'https://zenodo.org/record/60800/files/shape_pisos.zip?download=1' -O shape_pisos.zip
unzip -u shape_pisos.zip

We also add the files: Chile_IUCN_redlist and Functional_Group_Chile_Arg provided by Patricio Pliscoff -()- Alaska to Patagonia project.

Crosswalk

We checked the file GETcrosswalk_sample_Chile_PatricioPliscoff_correct.xlsx, there are however some inconsistencies in the numbering/naming. For EFG T3.3 the selection of units correspond to this (but Bosque caducifolio templado andino de Nothofagus pumilio y Chiliotrichum diffusum is actually named as a Matorral arborescente caducifolio templado in the crosswalk, and numbers are different):
