As indicated in different reports such as Et_NBSAP 2015-2020 (https://www.cbd.int/nbsap/about/latest/default.shtml), classification of Ethiopian ecosystems into 10 was based on 12 vegetation types of the country produced in 2010. However, there exists no clear explanation to justify classification of 12 vegetation types (which describe dominant plant species composition) into 10 ecosystems, and nor has such classification been satisfactory to the scholars working in the area and conservation pra completed Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute GIS expert 1123456789 Comoros Street; E-mail : info@ebi.gov.et, Addis Ababa, Yeka Subcity 30726 ETH tarikugeda@gmail.com originator http://196.188.40.146/uploaded/thumbs/layer-bc91a2e4-ce3e-11e9-87c4-080027c1726a-thumb.png Thumbnail for 'floristic_regions' image/png ESRI Shapefile 1.0 features floristic_regions theme Global place Africa place Central Africa place East Africa place Djibouti place Eritrea place Ethiopia place Documentliist place Kenya place Somalia place Uganda place North Africa place Sudan place South Sudan place Asia place East Asia place South Asia place Middle East place Yemen place Pacific place Kiribati place license Not Specified: The original author did not specify a license. eng utf8 environment 32.999938964843800 47.986179351806600 3.402421951293950 14.899958610534700 Ecosystem mapping needs to be based on the best available data from sub-national and national data sources at appropriate scales, to provide coherent information about ecosystems and their characteristics. During the MBP First Stakeholders Consultative Meeting that was conducted on 8 and 9 September 2018; ecosystem technical working group, guided by discussion points and Potential Natural Vegetation Atlas shapefile and Et_NBSAP 2015-2020 document, the stakeholders of the meeting have classified the country’s ecosystem into seven terrestrial, aquatic and wetland ecosystems. These have further been refined and classified into 78 sub-types at the Second and Third National Stakeholders Consultative meetings that were conducted between 19 and 20 September 2018 and between 30 January and 02 February 2019. The evaluation of the SBA was done at this sub-type level. Summary of the draft classification of ecosystems, namely: five majors terrestrial, one aquatic and one wetland ecosystem as major and respective 78 sub-ecosystems. Mapping and classifying ecosystems are not simple. Ecosystems can be defined in many ways, at different spatial scales, and their boundaries are often inherently fuzzy rather than exact. In spite of these challenges, Ethiopian scholars have made great strides in developing hierarchical classification systems for ecosystems in terrestrial, aquatic and wetland environments Biodiversity and ecosystems of Ethiopia are facing multitudes of interlinked pressures such as habitat conversion, unsustainable utilization, invasive alien species, climate change, replacement of farmers’ varieties/breeds and pollution. These are resulting in eventual fragmentation and degradation of natural habitats, disturbance of ecosystem functions and loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. http://geo.portal.ebi.gov.et WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Online link to the 'floristic_regions' description on GeoNode http://196.188.40.146/uploaded/thumbs/layer-bc91a2e4-ce3e-11e9-87c4-080027c1726a-thumb.png WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png floristic_regions (Thumbnail Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/gwc/service/gmaps?layers=geonode:floristic_regions&zoom={z}&x={x}&y={y}&format=image/png8 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .tiles floristic_regions (Tiles Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms?request=GetLegendGraphic&format=image/png&WIDTH=20&HEIGHT=20&LAYER=geonode:floristic_regions&legend_options=fontAntiAliasing:true;fontSize:12;forceLabels:on WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png floristic_regions (Legend Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/ows?layers=geonode:floristic_regions&crs=EPSG:4326&service=WMS&format=image/png8&request=GetMap&height=150&width=200&version=1.1.1&bbox=32.999938964843800,3.402421951293950,47.986179351806600,14.899958610534700 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png floristic_regions (Remote Thumbnail Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms/kml?layers=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&mode=refresh WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .kml floristic_regions (View in Google Earth Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms/kml?layers=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&mode=download WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .kml floristic_regions (KML Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?srsName=EPSG%3A4326&typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=json&version=1.0.0&service=WFS&request=GetFeature WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .json floristic_regions (GeoJSON Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=excel&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&service=WFS WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .excel floristic_regions (Excel Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=csv&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&service=WFS WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .csv floristic_regions (CSV Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=text%2Fxml%3B+subtype%3Dgml%2F3.1.1&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&service=WFS WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml floristic_regions (GML 3.1.1 Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=gml2&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&service=WFS WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .gml floristic_regions (GML 2.0 Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wfs?format_options=charset%3AUTF-8&typename=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&outputFormat=SHAPE-ZIP&version=1.0.0&service=WFS&request=GetFeature WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .zip floristic_regions (Zipped Shapefile Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms?layers=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&width=716&bbox=32.999938964843800%2C3.402421951293950%2C47.986179351806600%2C14.899958610534700&service=WMS&format=image%2Fpng&srs=EPSG%3A4326&request=GetMap&height=550 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .png floristic_regions (PNG Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms?layers=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&width=716&bbox=32.999938964843800%2C3.402421951293950%2C47.986179351806600%2C14.899958610534700&service=WMS&format=application%2Fpdf&srs=EPSG%3A4326&request=GetMap&height=550 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .pdf floristic_regions (PDF Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/wms?layers=geonode%3Afloristic_regions&width=716&bbox=32.999938964843800%2C3.402421951293950%2C47.986179351806600%2C14.899958610534700&service=WMS&format=image%2Fjpeg&srs=EPSG%3A4326&request=GetMap&height=550 WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download .jpg floristic_regions (JPEG Format) http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/geonode/wfs OGC:WFS geonode:floristic_regions Service - Provides Layer: floristic_regions http://196.188.40.146/geoserver/geonode/ows OGC:WMS geonode:floristic_regions Service - Provides Layer: floristic_regions dataset
