Room for Improvement with the Project:



    The biggest regret that I have about this method in which I do this project

is that I did not keep the file names simple.  Instead of naming them

consistently such as `ffpapple2050`and `ffpapplepresent`, I chose names such

as Kamloops FFP to describe the FFP reclass for the purpose of grape

growing.  This resulted in longer search times than I would have liked.

    In addition, I still wonder if I should have used constraints for my analysis.


Although the relatedness of the climatic variables probably meant that

constraints wouldn`t have changed the output very much, it still would have

been interesting to have done the project with contrainsts as well as without

constraints.

    For the apple and grape growing at 2050 vs apple and grape growing at

present, it probably would have been better if I had done an overlay of these

two layers in order to better show the increases in apple and grape growing

between present and 2050.  I did the overlay for apple-growing in 2050 vs

apple-growing at present and for grape-growing in 2050 vs grape-growing

at present. 

    Finally, for deciding the criteria and cut-off points for which areas

are `suitable` and `not suitable`for wine grape and apple growing, I feel

that I could have used a more scientifically-sound method than just choosing

all values at 6 or higher.
