Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 40.91 | 21.85 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.89 | 8.11 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 64.48 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
These values describe the documented climate envelope of the taxon. They are not, by themselves, a local recommendation.
Documented soil preferences
| Variable | Unit | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cation exchange capacity (CEC) | cmol(+)/kg | 6.9 – 22.32 | 9.5 – 14.3 |
| Clay | % | 13.47 – 40.52 | 17.8 – 29.62 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2 – 21.73 | 6.4 – 15.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.68 – 4.49 | 1.03 – 1.97 |
| pH | — | 5.1 – 6.4 | 5.4 – 6.1 |
| Sand | % | 34.58 – 78.4 | 45.73 – 64.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 10 – 43.67 | 12.5 – 25.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
