Worldclim version 2.0 is a database providing monthly averaged climate data for mean, minimum and maximum precipitation and temperature.
Elevation, vegetation and land cover data were sourced from the NASA EOSDIS Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Centre database (LP DAAC) using the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS). We used data from the ASTER GDEM and Terra and Aqua MODIS satellites.
Soil texture and pH data were derived from ‘Os Solos de Timor’, an extensive soil study of Timor-Leste conducted in the 1960s.
