Classes of soil use capacity

This resource replaces the indicator c0507041, which is no longer updated, with less detail. Currently it does not cover all provinces, but is constantly updated. Land capability classification means the potential of the soil to accommodate and encourage the growth of cultivated and spontaneous plants. The potential for land use shall be assessed on the basis of the capacity to produce biomass; the possibility of referring to a wide crop spectrum and the reduced risk of soil degradation. The capacity of a soil is a function of certain physical, chemical and biological characteristics; the more favourable these properties will be for the life of the larger plants, the use of such soils can be.本资源替代了已停止更新的c0507041指标，且自身细节相对精简。目前该资源尚未覆盖全部省份，但仍在持续更新中。土地潜力分类（Land Capability Classification）指土壤容纳并促进栽培植物与自然植被生长的潜在能力。土地利用潜力应基于土壤生产生物质的能力、适配广谱作物种植的可能性以及降低土壤退化风险的程度进行评估。土壤能力由特定的物理、化学及生物学特性所决定；这些特性对大型植物生长越有利，此类土壤的可利用性就越高。
