Table 2: Relative cover per Ecoreigion from ESA’s GlobCover 2009—values represent percentages per ecoregion. Codes represent land cover types listed in Table 11. Ecoreigions are represented by letter according to the following list: (a) Campo Major; (b) Northern Sertaneja Depression; (c) Aarripe-Ibiapaba Complex; (d) Borborema Plateau; (e) Major Southern Sertaneja Depression; (f) Sao Francisco Dunes; (g) Raso da Catarina; (h) Minor Southern Sertaneja Depression; (i) Chapada Diamantina.
