A 29‐volume series, Ecosystems of the World, published by Elsevier of Amsterdam, is the single most comprehensive treatment available. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (millenniumassessment.org) reported on the status of the world’s ecosystems and the services they provide, as well as the basis for conserving them. See cices.eu for a classification of ecosystem services developed by the European Environment Agency. Turner and Gardiner (2015) provide a comprehensive perspective on ecosystems as elements in landscapes, and Groves and Game (2016) cover conservation planning, particularly at that scale. For web‐based information about ecological communities in the western hemisphere, including a classification system, see www.natureserve.org. You can use https://www.worldwildlife.org/biomes to learn more about hundreds of ecoregions, organized by 26 major types across seven biogeographic realms.
