Soil properties remain indispensable, crop rotation
Research gap analysis derived from 3 agriculture papers in our local library.
The gap
These results suggest that although soil properties remain indispensable, crop rotation and climate variables provide complementary information—particularly in contexts where soil data are limited or costly to obtain.

Conventional land suitability assessments often rely on static climatic averages, which fail to capture the dynamic interactions between climate variability and crop phenology. Extreme events such as frost and heat shock during sensitive phenological stages are often overlooked, leading to over-estimations of yields.
