At a regional scale, AEZs are influenced by latitude, elevation, and temperature, as well as seasonality, and rainfall amounts and distribution during the growing season. The resulting AEZ classifications for Africa have three dimensions major climate zone (tropics or subtropics), moisture zones (water availability) and highland/lowland (warm or cool based on elevation). This layer is a GeoTiff version of the AEZ map developed by IFPRI that is distributed via the Harvard Dataverse (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HJYYTI) Sebastian, Kate.
