#' Terrestrial and Aquatic Biomes
#'
#' This resource is part of the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and
#' Ecosystem Services and represents a division of the Earth's surface
#' into several subcategories. The classification differentiates between
#' biomes and anthromes. Biomes are differentiated between terrestrial and aquatic
#' biomes.
#'
#' Terrestrial biomes include:
#' - Tropical and subtropical dry and humid forests
#' - Temperate and boreal forests and woodlands
#' - Mediterranean forests, woodlands and scrub
#' - Tundra and High Mountain habitats
#' - Tropical and subtropical savannas and grasslands
#' - Temperate Grasslands
#' - Deserts and xeric shrublands
#' - Wetlands – peatlands, mires, bogs
#'
#' Aquatic biomes include:
#' - Cryosphere
#' - Aquaculture areas
#' - Inland surface waters and water bodies/freshwater
#' - Shelf ecosystems (neritic and intertidal/littoral zone)
#' - Open ocean pelagic systems (euphotic zone)
