Olson's Major World Ecosystem Complexes database maps 44 land ecosystem types across the globe, ranking them by estimated carbon in live vegetation. Work on this computerized database began in 1960 and was completed in 1980, using preagricultural vegetation patterns and modern surveys. The southern Africa subset helps define the role of the terrestrial biosphere in the global carbon cycle.
