- Title
- Agro-Ecological Zones of Somalia
- Abstract
Agro-ecological zones (AEZ) are land resource mapping units, defined in terms of
climate, landform and soils, and/or land cover, having a specific range of
potentials and constraints (FAO, 1996). The purpose of Agro-ecological zoning is
to give an inventory and overview of the physical agricultural potential of an area.
Agro-ecological zones for Somalia have been defined and mapped through a
combination of information on soils, landform and climate. Information on soils
and landform was mainly derived from the Soil and Terrain (SOTER) Database for
northeastern Africa (FAO, 1998), updated with recent information from the
SWALIM study areas. Available data on rainfall and potential evapotranspiration
(FAOCLIM, 2001) has been used to define Length of Growing Period Zones (LGP
Zones), as described in the following sections. Read this report for more details ->- License
