Geographic distribution of major crops across the world Global Biogeochemical Cycles
Entry ID:
SAGE_MAJORCROPS
Summary
Abstract:
The Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) 18 Major Crops
dataset characterizes the distribution of major crops across the Global Biogeochemical Cycles. The data set was developed using data on proportion of harvested area within each grid cell, and therefore represents, for each grid cell, the probability of finding a given crop in that location ...

Use Constraints
This global data set is intended to provide very rough indications of the
probability of finding major crops in different locations across the world in the early 1990s period. It was developed to be used for global modeling applications, and should be used with caution. Ancillary Keywords
