The images are expressed as a fraction of 18 scenarios, where 0 means all scenarios show no suitability, and 1 means all scenarios show suitability. The images are expressed as a fraction of 18 scenarios, where 0 means all scenarios show no suitability, and 1 means all scenarios show suitability. To illustrate the potential distributions of areas suitable for maize and wheat production under future climate change scenarios.
