Biotic Risk Geography
Global spatial representation of biotic threatsDescription
The Biotic Risk Geography API provides a global spatial representation of the varying degree of climate suitability of a given location for a selection of pests, weeds and pathogens. There are currently 24 risk geographies for biotic threats (pests, pathogens & weeds) that affect agricultural crops.
