The site maintains significantly higher soil gravimetric water content (49.4% average) compared to C. villosissimus habitats (32.0%).
Frijolito receives significant rainfall, totaling approximately 200.3 mm monthly. frijolito
A critical differentiator is its higher rainfall during the dry season (January–April), recording an average of 92.6 mm compared to 69.2 mm in surrounding areas like Gamboa. frijolito
Its ability to maintain higher moisture levels through the dry season makes it an ecologically stable refuge compared to surrounding, more arid locations. frijolito
The habitat presents lower light availability, averaging around 11.3% of full sun (PAR) in the wet season, which favors shade-tolerant adaptations. Contextual Significance
