Zonificación de aptitud para la producción de pastos estrella (Cynodon nlemfuensis), estre

A 1:100,000 scale map details the suitability for producing four pasture grass species across Colombia. The dataset results from integrating physical and socio-ecosystem criteria and has been used as an input for national and export beef and dairy production zoning. It categorizes areas into High, Medium, Low, Not Suitable, and Legal Exclusion classes.

Use Cases

• Classify land suitability (Aptitud) for pasture cultivation using geospatial features (The_geom) and area data (Área).
• Calculate total suitable area (Área) by Aptitud class for regional agricultural planning.
• Perform spatial joins with other land-use layers using the geometry column (The_geom) and unique identifiers (Consecutivo, Gridcode).

Strengths

• The dataset is based on a defined 1:100,000 scale mapping methodology.
• It includes a clear, multi-class suitability classification (Aptitud) with five distinct categories.
• Data is available in multiple standard formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• License and author information are not provided.
