Useful for teachers and students who are interested in the global distribution of inherent land quality. Global modelers may be able to use the data for small scale analysis. The Inherent Land Quality map data is rasterized on a 2 minute grid cell. Nine classes are defined based on soil climate and soil classification.
Legend is structured as a matrix using soil performance and soil resilience.
