Plant Climate DNA

The quality-filtered native-record profile for Colocasia esculenta centers on 22.2°C annual mean temperature and 2674 mm annual precipitation. Its robust p10–p90 climate envelope is wider than those two medians: the coldest-month minimum spans 6.9–20.2°C, while modeled annual rainfall spans 1546–3945 mm. This is a computed environmental fingerprint built from 30 spatially thinned climate points attached to filtered GBIF records inside the POWO native range of India to southern China and Sumatra. It describes where retained records occur in long-term gridded climate; it is not an indoor-care prescription or a physiological tolerance test. ...

This collection compares ten plant Climate DNA profiles using the same occurrence filters, CHELSA variables, percentile method, and confidence gate. It is a data comparison, not a list of universal care targets. The common unit is the long-term outdoor climate attached to quality-filtered records inside each plant’s POWO native-country range. The cohort rule is reproducible: the ten profiles with the highest median coldest-month temperature in the current 20-plant dataset. Every profile keeps its own native occurrence count, geographic coverage, and confidence visible. No unrelated location is used as a substitute for species-specific evidence. ...
