Walter diagrams describe these regions as functions of average rainfall and average temperature, while less frequently observed ones include mangroves and chaparral.
A commonly used scheme devised by Kuchler attempts to describe these entities according to similarities in physiognomic cover types. A seminal paper by Ellis and Ramankutty attempts to describe "anthropogenic" forms of these entities by incorporating information on population density and land use. Walter diagrams describe these regions as functions of average rainfall and average temperature, while less frequently observed ones include mangroves and chaparral. For 10 points, identify these regions which have similar climatic conditions and vegetation, and are exemplified by tundra, taiga, and tropical forests.
