与传统的生物气候分类相比，全球气候模型与陆地植被模型的交互耦合需要减少植被类别的数量。我们建议根据两种主要植物功能类型（树木和草）进行连续植被分类。基于最先进的全球气候和植被数据集，分析了全球范围内气候与这些植被类型之间的对应关系。获得了描述树木比例与气候（年平均气温和降水量）函数关系的经验公式。 (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
An interactive coupling of global climate models with models for the terrestrial vegetation requires a reduction of the number of vegetation classes in comparison with traditional bioclimatic classification. We suggest a continuous vegetation classification based on two main plant functional types: trees and grass. Correspondence between climate and these vegetation types on a global scale was analysed on the basis of stare-of-the-art global climate and vegetation datasets. An empirical formula describing a fraction of trees as a function of climate (mean annual temperature and precipitation) was obtained. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
