PyAEZ
- Python
- Civil Engineering, Data Analytics, Ecology and Sustainability
- Agriculture, Climate, Environmental Impact, Environmental Impact Assessment, Food, Sustainability Metrics, Sustainable Development, Water contamination
Features:
- Climate data analysis (rainfall,temperature),crop suitability assessment,land evaluation,potential yield estimation,water balance calculation,length of growing period (LGP) calculation,thermal zones classification,soil suitability assessment,integration with raster data (GDAL)
Pricing:
- Free
- Implements established FAO AEZ methodology, useful for agricultural planning and land resource assessment, open-source, processes gridded climate and soil data.
- Niche application (agro-ecological zoning), requires specific input data (climate,soil,crop parameters), documentation on PyPI is somewhat limited, last release 2021, may require GIS knowledge.
Best for:
- Agricultural scientists, environmental planners, and researchers conducting agro-ecological zoning studies for land suitability and agricultural potential assessment.
