Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 28.85 | 19.53 – 28.49 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.53 – 40.05 | 28.01 – 39.75 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.87 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 601.36 – 4226.84 | 678.82 – 3812.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 131.36 | 27.5 – 131 |
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 | 5.3 – 39.86 | 6.92 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 46.76 | 15.55 – 43.52 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.48 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.4 – 11.22 | 0.47 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 6.88 | 4.5 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 32.52 – 82.56 | 38.92 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.73 – 90.21 | 6.28 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
