Equivalence between Biome 6000 delivered integers and biome names #3

Hello! I have an issue with the potential biome layer. I first found it while working with Stac/Terra retrieved data, but it seemingly repeats in your online map.

I'm working with Madagascar Biome Data. If you zoom into the Southern Madagascar coast and click on the green region, you will get a value of 18. For example in point -24.9650, 44.6305 (whole URL with query parameters linked below).
It seemed to me that your documentation for this layer points to a polen dataset, which I downloaded in order to get the equivalencies between integer numbers and natural language biome names.
In said dataset, a Biome 6000 code of 18 corresponds to erect dwarf shrub tundra, whereas in your map, the color scale correctly points into tropical savanna.
How can I correctly trasnlage the biome numbers provided by the raster layer?

Thanks a lot!
