AbstractAgroclimatic Zones 2011-2040 (based on the averaged output of 7 GCM models under Greenhouse Gas Emission Scenario A1b)
PurposeBuilding a new eco-climatic database was established consisting of GIS layers of soil and climatic parameters at 1 km resolution
Supplemental InformationThe agroclimatic zones were mapped according to the UNESCO classification system (1979), which is based on three criteria: Moisture regime, summer type and winter type. The moisture regime is determined by the ratio of annual rainfall over annual reference evapotranspiration (also referred to as aridity index), calculated according to the Penman-Monteith method. The winter type is determined by the mean temperature of the coldest month. The summer type is determined by the mean temperature of the warmest month
