Land cover and land use described in an IMAGE scenario is a compilation of output from various IMAGE components. This compilation provides insight into key processes in land-use change described in the model and an overview of all gridded land cover and land use information available in IMAGE ( | Land cover and land use described in an IMAGE scenario is a compilation of output from various IMAGE components.

Land cover and land use is also the basis for the land availability assessment, which provides information on regional land supply to the [[Agricultural economy|agro-economic model]] , based on potential crop yields, protected areas, and external datasets such as slope, soil properties, and wetlands ([[Mandryk et al., in preparation]]). | Land cover and land use is also the basis for the land availability assessment, which provides information on regional land supply to the [[Agricultural economy|agro-economic model]] , based on potential crop yields, protected areas, and external datasets such as slope, soil properties, and wetlands ([[Mandryk et al., in preparation]]). | ||
