Description
Definition
ECOREGION reports the predominant terrestrial ecoregion within a 5 kilometer circular buffer around each DHS cluster location. ECOREGION reports the biogeographic region (e.g., Afrotropic), the habitat type (e.g., tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands), and the ecoregion (e.g., East Sudanian savanna) that are associated with each cluster location. ECOREGION is available for every IPUMS-DHS sample with GPS data.
There are 825 terrestrial ecoregions in the world. The 5-digit codes in ECOREGION (e.g., AT0705) include a 1-digit realm code, followed by a 2-digit biome code and a 2-digit ecoregion number. For the full list of codes and their meaning, see the User Note on Using IPUMS-DHS Contextual Variables: Ecoregions [URL omitted from DDI.]. The User Note also describes the data sources and the methodology used to create this variable. This variable, like the other IPUMS-DHS contextual variables, is based on sources outside The DHS Program, with values around DHS sample cluster points calculated by IPUMS-DHS staff.
