Common bean climate niche of Southeastern and Southern Africa

Geospatial dataset of the climate niche for common bean in Southeastern Africa. Temperature and precipitation parameters collected from Beebe et al. (2011). Data sources: NASA MODIS Land Surface Temperature (MOD11A2) (NASA LP DAAC 2015; Wan et al. 2015) and CHIRPS Precipitation (Funk et al. 2015). Growing season months: November–April; temporal range: 2001–2017; precipitation range: 200–710 mm; temperature range: 13.6–25.6°C.
