Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map

  • Location:

    Helsinki, Finland

  • Start date:

    11.03.2008

  • End date:

    11.06.2008

This workshop aims at developing a strategy for mapping the circumboreal vegetation (including most of he watersheds emptying into the arctic basin). The end product of CBVM should be a unified map developed by vegetation scientists, using the approaches to vegetation mapping that are understood, debated, and developed in the great schools vgetation mapping.

CBVM is a mapping project that is to be correlated to the Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) that was created in 2003. In this perspective, the mapping concept and the scale of the CBVM map should be compatible with CAVM (1: 7 500 000) and the northern limit of CBVM will correspond to the southernlimit of the existing Arctic Vegetation map.
