Latitude and longitude are centroids of research fields in each location (datum: WGS84)
Mean temperature and precipitation averaged throughout the rice-growing season from May to September across all research years of each region
Meteorological data were obtained from the Japan Meteorological Agency (https://www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/etrn/index.php)
Elevation is based on the digital elevation model of the 5-m mesh (DEM5a) data provided by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (https://maps.gsi.go.jp/)
