| Spatial Layer: | LAND DEGRADATION RISK - added 05 Apr 2006 |
| Source: | J. Meerman. - Dataset combines a total of 8 variables to assess the potential for land degradation in Belize. These variables include; Soil pH, Shallow depth, Soil Fertility, Fire Risk, Slope, Geology and Rainfall. Within these, the soil pH and slope weigh heaviest. In general, those areas with a high combined land degradation value should be considered unsuitable for development, particularly agricultural development. |
