Figure 3.
The image features nine analytical maps arranged in a grid format, depicting various geographical attributes of a specific region. The first map illustrates precipitation levels measured in millimeters, marked with a color gradient from green to orange, indicating high and low values. Adjacent, the land cover map categorizes different ecosystem types with colours corresponding to Agroforestry, Grassland, Wetlands, amongst others. The aspect map follows, showing directional characteristics with a colour gradient. The fourth map displays elevation in meters, with variations between low and high peaks denoted. The fifth visual represents the distance from water sources in meters, featured with distinct color groupings. Next, the distance from roads is shown, similarly quantified in meters. The slope map quantifies land steepness in degrees, while the temperature map indicates ranges in degrees Celsius. Lastly, wind speed measured in meters per second is depicted, showcasing varying levels of wind across the area. Each map contains legends that explain the colour coding and variable ranges, aiding user interpretation of the spatial information.Criteria map of Taita-Taveta
