  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables derived from paleoclimate proxies.  Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. 
          STUDY NOTES: This is the first release of the Biome6000 data. The data are organised 
according to publications. This first release only contains the most basic 
metadata (region, site name or code, latitude, longitude, and elevation) 
and the biome assignments for each of the sites, if available. </Abstract>
