The detailed description of climate and soil properties for tropical seasonal rainforest and savanna habitats.

Habitat type Tropical seasonal rainforest Savanna
Elevation (m a.s.l.) 580 481
Mean annual temperature (°C) 22.7 24.7
MAP (mm) 1447 733
Aridity index 0.96 0.33
Potential evaporation (mm) 1507 2220
pH 5.41 7.88
Organic matter (mg g−1) 46.91 87.73
Total N (mg g−1) 3.07 3.96
Total P (mg g−1) 0.69 1.30
Total K (mg g−1) 10.84 12.72
Available N (mg kg−1) 126.9 206.9

Available K (mg kg−1) 88.2 576.3

Aridity index was calculated following Nastos et al. (2013). Lower value of aridity index indicates the site is much drier. The duration of climate data for tropical seasonal rainforest is 1959–2018 and for savanna is 2012–17.
