Thermal regime classification at about 9 km resolution at the equator, using different climate data source and based on different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) according to the time period as follows: - climate data source CRUTS32 based on historical data for the time period 1981-2010; - climate data source ENSEMBLE based on the Representative Concentration Pathway RCP8.5 for time periods 2041-2070 and 2071-2100. The Thermal regime classification dataset is part of the GAEZ v4 Theme 1 Land and Water Resources, Agro-Ecological Zones sub-theme. The agro-ecological zones classification provides a characterization of bio-physical resources relevant to agricultural production systems. AEZ definitions and map classes follow a rigorous methodology and an explicit set of principles. The inventory combines spatial layers of thermal and moisture regimes with broad categories of soil/terrain qualities. It also indicates locations of areas with irrigated soils and shows land with severely limiting bio-physical constraints including very cold and very dry (desert) areas as well as areas with very steep terrain or very poor soil/terrain conditions. For further details, please refer to the GAEZ v4 Model Documentation.

Temperature growing period (LGPt=5), number of days with Ta > 5 °C using different climate data source and based on different Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) according to the time period as follows: - climate data source CRUTS32 based on historical data for the time period 1981-2010; - climate data source ENSEMBLE based on the Representative Concentration Pathway RCP8.5 for time periods 2041-2070 and 2071-2100. The Temperature growing period (LGPt) dataset, at about 10 km resolution, is part of the GAEZ v4 Agro-climatic Resources - Thermal Regime sub-theme. The time during the year when daily temperatures are conducive to crop growth and development is represented in AEZ by so-called temperature growing periods. The length of the ‘temperature growing period’ (LGPt) is calculated as the number of days in the year when average daily temperature (Ta) is above a temperature threshold “t”. In AEZ three standard temperature thresholds for temperature growing periods are used: (i) periods with Ta > 0oC (LGPt0), (ii) periods with Ta > 5oC (LGPt5), which is considered as the period conducive to plant growth and development, and (iii) periods with Ta > 10oC (LGPt10), which is used as a proxy for the period of low risks for late and early frost occurrences and termed ‘frost-free period’.
