1. Land suitability in temperate Europe

This dataset includes land suitability maps for several crops and land uses (14 crops, 7 fruit trees, 3 land-use types) in the temperate continental climate of Europe. To model the land suitability we used geospatial data depicting seventeen eco-pedological indicators (e.g. soil texture, pH, porosity, temperature, precipitation, slope).
