Climate classification
Leslie Holdridge's Life Zone Classification system is essentially a climate classification scheme.
Climate classification systems are ways of classifying the world's climates. A climate classification may correlate closely with a biome category, as climate is a major influence on biological life in a region. The most popular classification scheme is probably the Köppen climate classification scheme.
Climate classification systems include:
- Aridity index
- Köppen climate classification
- Holdridge life zone classification
- Trewartha climate classification
