Chusquea spicata is known from localities with an annual mean temperature of 17.1°C and precipitation of 1560 mm. Temperatures show moderate seasonality (standard deviation ~108.8), varying from 25°C in the warmest month to 8.1°C in the coolest (isothermality ratio ~74.2). Precipitation shows considerable seasonality (coefficient of variation ~66.6), varying from 460 mm in the wettest month to 6 mm in the driest. The mean temperatures of the wettest (totaling 1317 mm) and driest (totaling 27 mm) quarters being 17.6°C and 16°C, respectively, and the mean precipitation of the warmest (27.9°C) and coolest (2.6°C) quarters being 339 mm and 304 mm, respectively.

Tables and figures are dynamically generated by intersecting georeferenced herbarium specimen localities with 10 minute resolution WorldClim v2.1 variables (Fick and Hijmans 2017). The above data are subject to change as specimens and geocoordinates are added, removed or altered.
