Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.65 – 29.17 | 18.19 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 40.33 | 21.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 7.85 – 22.93 | 8.11 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 3643.82 | 64.48 – 2323.78 |
| 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 | 4.61 – 39.86 | 6 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 48.68 | 15.55 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.45 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 11.22 | 0.54 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.38 | 4.7 – 8.12 |
| Sand | % | 21.16 – 82.56 | 33.38 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 90.21 | 3.7 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
