Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 29.57 | 18.65 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 43.85 | 21.85 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 31.22 – 4960.86 | 47.78 – 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 | 12.76 – 21.4 | 13.1 – 20.8 |
| Clay | % | 27.22 – 34.44 | 29.7 – 33.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.14 – 9.2 | 6 – 9.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.51 – 4.23 | 2.71 – 3.73 |
| pH | — | 4.76 – 5.6 | 5 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 32.46 – 43.74 | 33 – 39.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 21.06 – 75.26 | 40.5 – 53.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
