Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 29.17 | 18.65 – 28.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 41.31 | 21.85 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4960.86 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 | 10.23 – 24.39 | 15.88 – 21.55 |
| Clay | % | 22.32 – 38.09 | 26.7 – 33.92 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.17 – 17.6 | 6.03 – 15.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.48 – 3.8 | 2.16 – 3.53 |
| pH | — | 4.63 – 6.2 | 4.88 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 31.25 – 52.28 | 33.08 – 49.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 25.7 – 83.67 | 31.27 – 57.77 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
