WIP biome map, it should be noted that it's NOT meant to reflect the actual climate closely, but more for globe mapping purposes.
/inf/ is left empty since I think they want a specific biome/climate distribution, and the island will be moved (in that general area) to accompany that. Can anyone from /inf/ confirm? As for the small corpro continent, I'm admittedly a bit stuck. I think it'll probably be divided between soubtropical monsoon, steppe and desert, but I'll have to think about it more before committing. For the rest:
>Blue: Tropical rainforest, lush green. Mostly evergreen but can be more seasonal due to effects of monsoon/altitude.
>Light Blue: Savannah area of significant size. It should be noted that there will be strips of savannah between rainforest and desert as transitional zones. The ones on the map are simply ones that are larger than usual due to local conditions.
>Red: Hot arid environment. Might have significant transitional grassland between it and other biomes.
>Green: Subtropical/temperate forest, slightly less lush green than tropical rainforest and usually be subjected to seasonal effect. Be noted that the difference between subtropical forest and rainforest can be ambiguous, in particular due to monsoonal effect in eastern holo and niji continent, and how well the local environment retains water during dry season. There might be significant deforestation for agriculture.
>Yellow: Mediterranean biome, dominated by shrubs and tend to look more yellow-green from space.
>Light purple: warm continental biome, usually a mix between forests and steppe.
>Deep purple: cold continental biome, usually forested in dark green boreal forest/taiga. Elevations will usually lead to grassland due to the lower tree line.
>Dark red (only in holo continent around /haachama/): Cold desert caused by rain-shadow effect, think Taklamakan.
>Grey: Tundra.
>White: Icecap, the ones on the terran map overrides it, as I might have accidentally painted some over (mostly /rrat/). Be noted that there is a spot of it on /morig/ due to the elevation and chuubanite effect of Mt. Mori and its Chill Zone.
It's not an accurate reflect of climate zone due to it not matching biome zones perfectly. There might be significant local differences, so a closer analysis will be needed for countries that want a more comprehensive picture. Feel free to tell me if I screwed it up.
