From: A time-varying index for agricultural suitability across Europe from 1500–2000
The histogram shows the distribution of the differences for all 9100 grids as shown in the lower panel of Figure 9. Difference = Suiti − Xi, where Suiti represents our measure of agricultural suitability, and Xi denotes either the composite measure of agricultural suitability defined by the FAO GAEZ (FAO) or the measure of agricultural suitability by Ramankutty et al.3 for grid cell i. Consequently, negative values indicate areas identified as more suitable by the other dataset, while positive values imply that our measure indicates grids with higher suitability conditions for cultivation.
