Bean Atlas of Africa - Available Data -
New
The
Atlas is an ArcView 3.0 project. It is a result of a table
join operation between the bean polygon map and the bean database
(ref: Bean Database). The polygon map, presenting major bean
producing areas, is derived from a revision/update of a previous
bean point map for Africa (J.L. Gray and C. Wortmann, 1994).
For purposes of the atlas, the area of interest has been defined
as from 15.75°N extending South to represent sub-Saharan
Africa. The project is broken down to several views and layouts.
This is to make it easier to find ones' way to specific maps;
and also to reduce the number of themes in a view and the
number of titles in a layout. For all the views, the map units
and distance units are set to decimal degrees and meters respectively
(Standard Geographic Projections of the World). The view scale
is set at 1:60,000,000 scale. The setup if maintained, allows
one to print from 15.75°N to 37.75°S of sub-Saharan
Africa well fitted with latitude - longitude grid marks and
outline (depending on the display resolution).

Soils
and land datasets of Cabuyal watershed completed with
land use, land degradation risk and constraint maps. Analyses
were carried out in the hillsides benchmark site, the
watershed in Cabuyal, Cauca, Colombia. Stream power theory
was used to create erosion indices. An erosion index map
suggests that the watershed has three "hot spots"
of land degradation risk. This map was combined with land
use maps to analyze soil management zones. |
