J.M. Adams and H. Faure, Quaternary Environments Network (QEN):
Global atlas of paleovegetation since the last glacial
maximum. A set of preliminary, broad-scale ecosystem map reconstructions is presented
for the world at the Last Glacial
Maximum (18,000 years ago) and the early Holocene (8,000 years ago), the mid Holocene
(5,000 years ago).

Earth
history events shaped the evolution of uneven biodiversity across
tropical moist forests. Open access,
PNAS, 118.
"... high biodiversity in Neotropical
and Indomalayan moist forests is driven by complex macroevo-
lutionary dynamics associated with mountain uplift. In contrast,
lower diversity in Afrotropical forests is associated with lower
speciation rates and higher extinction rates driven by sustained
aridifcation over the Cenozoic. ..."

Biosphere 3D.
The Biosphere 3D site (mostly using maps from the "Atlas of the Biosphere")
has links to QuickTime movies of maps of the Biosphere draped over digital
topography in globes that you can spin and tilt.
Globes may be rotated using the mouse, zoomed using the
shift-key, and unzoomed using the crtl-key.

Geographical coordinates.
Currently one of the best tools getting rapidly maps of every place on earth!
!
Step one: Search in Wikipedia for a location, village, town or landscape.
!
Step two: After getting your search result, in line 2, click the bottom "Coordinates".
!
Step three: Get a variety of maps, photos and other informations
on the "Geohack"-result page. Excellent!
