comment     : 1. The Major Vegetation Groups map was derived from the
comment     : Vegetation Types map (Fedorova; I.T.; Y.A. Volkova; and
comment     : D.L. Varlyguin. 1994. World Vegetation Cover. Digital
comment     : Raster Data on a 30-minute Geographic (Latlong) 1080x2160
comment     : grid. In: Global Ecosystems Database Version 2.0. Boulder;
comment     : CO: NOAA National Geographical Data Center. 3 independent
comment     : single-attribute spatial layers and one tabular attribute
comment     : data file on CD-ROM; 11;075;991 MB.)
comment     : 2. For additional information see the FVVVEG.mdb file.
comment     : 3. If you have Idrisi for Windows ver. 2.0 or higher; use
comment     : the file FVVVEG.igf in order to see the IDs of individual
comment     : type of vegetation and their primary productivity classes.
comment     : To do so; in Display Preferences choose "Use extended cursor
comment     : inquiry"; FVVVEG in "Use image group file"; and mark "Show
comment     : z-value graph on load".
comment     : 4. Use FVVGRP.img with FVVGRP.pal (or FVVVEG.smp for
comment     : Idrisi for Windows ver. 1.0 or higher) palette.
