Chapter 2 presents the same indicators—RAIN, TEMP, RADPAR,and BIOMSS—used in Chapter 1, and combines them with the agronomic indicators—cropped arable land fraction (CALF), maximum vegetation condition index (VCIx), cropping intensity, and minimum vegetation health index (VHIn)—to describe crop condition in seven Major Production Zones (MPZ) across all continents. For more information about these zones and methodologies used, see the quick reference guide in Annex C as well as the CropWatch bulletin online resources at www.cropwatch.com.cn.
2.1 Overview
Tables 2.1 and 2.2 present an overview of the agro climatic(table 2.1) and agronomic (table 2.2) indicators for each of seven MPZs,comparing the indicators to the thirteen- and five-year averages.
