Question: In land capability classification the class VII is suitable for _______.
Options:
Cultivation of crops
Pasture and grazing
Wildlife and watershed management
All above
🛑Important Points:
-Land capability classification (LCC) can be defined as a system of grouping land into various classes based on inherent limitations imposed on sustained use by soil attributes, topography, drainage and climate.
-The guiding principle underlying LCC is to “use land according to its capability and treat it as per its need”.
-The capability classes fall into two groups, one suited for cultivation and the other not suited for cultivation.
-Each group is further subdivided into four capabilities based on the intensity of hazards and limitations of use.
-The subclasses are further divided into a unit based on specific management practice.

• Thus the land is classified into eight land capability classes under two broad groups:
-Land suitable for agriculture and other uses which include class I to class IV lands.
-Land not suitable for agriculture but very well suited for forestry, grassland and wildlife which include class V to class VIII lands.
