French term or phrase: pédo-climatiques
I am stuck for a good translation for this term.

Here is the context:
Le conseil aux agriculteurs s’appuie sur l’expérimentation et les essais conduits sur le domaine agronomique du Chaumoy (140 ha) et dans 9 régions pédo-climatiques.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

cf pedo-climatique/pedo-climatiques in IATE

the sites /refs.where "pedo-climatic" is used seem almost invariably to be written by non-native speakers, including academic refs.
