Tef Crop Distribution Projections Under Climate Change Scenarios

Percent contributions of environmental variables for predicting tef crop distribution under moderate and extreme climate change scenarios for years 2050 and 2070. The dataset was authored by Melkamu Birhanie Mekonnen and is available on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It is a small dataset (9.5 KB) stored in an XLS file.

Use Cases

• Assess the relative importance of different environmental factors for tef crop distribution based on variable contribution percentages.
• Compare the projected impact of moderate versus extreme climate change scenarios on tef suitability.
• Model future crop distribution shifts for 2050 and 2070 based on climate-driven environmental changes.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0).
• Projections cover two distinct future time points (2050 and 2070).
• Scenarios include both moderate and extreme climate change pathways.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
