Suitability analysis in a changing climate

Journal Articles & Books
May, 2016

Land suitability analysis is employed to evaluate the appropriateness of land for a particular purpose whilst integrating both qualitative and quantitative inputs, which can be continuous in nature. However, in agricultural modelling there is often a disregard of this contiguous aspect. Therefore, some parametric procedures for suitability analysis compartmentalise units into defined membership classes. This imposition of crisp boundaries neglects the continuous formations found throughout nature and overlooks differences and inherent uncertainties found in the modelling.

Land Suitability Assessment for Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) Development in Chile

Reports & Research
January, 2017
Chile
Norway

Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is an oilseed with potential for use as a raw material in second-generation biofuels. Camelina has a seed yield of up to 2380 kg ha-1 and contains around 45% fatty acids. Selection of a suitable site is critical for production optimization. The objective of this study was to determine Chilean agro-climatic suitability for establishing camelina as a productive alternative.

Assessment of Irrigation Land Suitability and Development of Map for the Fogera Catchment Using GIS, South Gondar

Reports & Research
December, 2012
Hong Kong

Irrigation land suitability assessment and mapping play an imperative role for sustainable utilization of scarce physical land resources. The objectives of this study were to prepare spatial data base of physical land resources for irrigated agriculture and to assess land suitability for irrigation and developing suitable area map for the study area. The study was conducted at Fogera catchment, South Gondar. Soil and water sampling spots were selected based on free and grid survey techniques and their locations were taken using Global Positioning System (GPS).

East Lombok Regency has different beach variations from the north, middle, and south in terms of its constituent material. The beauty of the beach in East Lombok District has not been well managed and developed so that it is less developed than the other beaches in Lombok Regency. Therefore, a preliminary study is needed in the development of coastal tourism in East Lombok Regency. The initial study that needs to be done is the land suitability of coastal for tourism and swimming in East Lombok Regency.

Predicting Shifts in Land Suitability for Maize Cultivation Worldwide Due to Climate Change: A Modeling Approach

Peer-reviewed publication
March, 2021
Norway

Suitable land is an important prerequisite for crop cultivation and, given the prospect of climate change, it is essential to assess such suitability to minimize crop production risks and to ensure food security. Although a variety of methods to assess the suitability are available, a comprehensive, objective, and large-scale screening of environmental variables that influence the results—and therefore their accuracy—of these methods has rarely been explored.
