Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.53 – 28.39 | 12.01 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.25 – 40.85 | 21.73 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -12.39 – 25.17 | -2.43 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 464.26 – 5884.7 | 586.18 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 140.54 | 14.68 – 128.36 |
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 | 8.6 – 28.99 | 13.88 – 22.4 |
| Clay | % | 20.25 – 37.8 | 24.2 – 32.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.4 – 17.75 | 7.3 – 10.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.92 – 3.49 | 1.54 – 2.73 |
| pH | — | 5.1 – 6.6 | 5.4 – 6.1 |
| Sand | % | 31.82 – 61.38 | 42.67 – 52.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.02 – 56.48 | 22.7 – 37.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
