Derivative works of this file:

This biogeographical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Vegetation.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
This image was uploaded with an opaque background where it should have been transparent. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image, derived from a non-JPEG source so that it has an alpha channel and no compression artifacts (or with existing artifacts removed). If it is not possible to obtain a cleaner version then consider creating a new, derivative, image with the background removed, while leaving this image alone; use templates such as {{Retouched picture}} and {{Derivative versions}} as appropriate; then ignore the rest of these requests. After doing so, please:
  1. Find all pages in all Wikimedia projects that use this image, and replace the old image with the new image in each.
  2. Mark this image as having been superseded by adding one of these templates.
For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.
