Figure 1
Quasi-global map of common bean suitability. Temporal range: 2009–2018; precipitation range: 200–710 mm; temperature range: 13.6–25.6 °C. Top—Single 4-month interval (December–March). Middle—Number of 4-month intervals that exhibit common bean suitability. The month intervals of October–January, November–February, and December–March use 2008–2017, whereas the remaining month ranges use 2009–2018. This decision was made so that the moving interval windows would be sequential. Bottom—Areas that are either never suitable or sometimes suitable (at least 1 of the 4-month intervals) for common bean production. Imagery processed using GEE38 and figure prepared using ArcGIS96. Data sources: CHIRPS precipitation67 and NASA MODIS LST85.
