Map of Global Biocapacity: World’s Most Fertile Soils

Biocapacity measures how biologically productive the world’s croplands, pastures, forests and fisheries are. The ‘global hectare,’ which equals the average biocapacity of all land in the world, is the basic unit of biocapacity. The more global hectares a particular piece of land is the more biocapacity it has. Brazil has 16 percent of the world’s biocapacity.

Territory size shows the proportion of all biocapacity that is found there.
