Description and data source:

  1. Indian map was procured from a commercial source and is presumed to be developed as per 2001 census map
  2. Soil data and description soil map national data set (2010) was available at a source scale 1:2m from National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organization. Physiographical divisions as per NBSS&LUP and soil taxonomy classification as per USDA. Map source Year : 1981
  3. Agro-ecological zones (AEZ) were as per National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee. Based on 50 years of climate data and an up-to-date soil database, the country has been divided into different AEZs. Each AEZ is a uniform in terms of physiography, climate, length of growing period and soil type.
  4. Current means 1950-2000; 2020s means 2010-2039 and 2050s (2020-2049). Temperature and precipitation data were obtained from the Worldclim database for current climate (1950 – 2000) and from CSIRO General Circulation Model for near future (2010-2049).
