Abstract: Terrain slope and climate zone (heat zone) are important factors affecting land use zoning and agricultural production layout in mountainous areas. Using “weight grade method”, a quantitative index of comprehensively evaluating terrain slope and climatic (thermal) conditions in mountainous areas was proposed: terrain-climate superiority degree (TCSD), and TCSD, terrain superiority degree (TSD), and climate superiority degree (CSD) in 129 counties (cities and districts) of Yunnan Province were measured and analyzed. The results showed that TCSD in 50.39% of counties of Yunnan Province was relatively better (levels Ⅰ and Ⅱ), and TCSD in 38.76% of counties was moderate (level Ⅲ), while TCSD in 10.85% of counties was relatively poorer (levels Ⅳ and Ⅴ).
