Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 14.19 – 28.39 | 20.19 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 23.05 – 37.63 | 26.77 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 23.85 | 7.77 – 21.77 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 3889.76 | 1211.54 – 3365.12 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 24.02 – 106.98 | 24.98 – 98.04 |
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 | 9.1 – 26.51 | 11.07 – 22.23 |
| Clay | % | 20.88 – 46.13 | 26.4 – 40.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.33 – 26.75 | 5.4 – 20.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.85 – 11.57 | 1.14 – 5.04 |
| pH | — | 4.6 – 6.79 | 4.8 – 6.1 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 53.23 | 21.1 – 42.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.62 – 132.1 | 11.12 – 59.88 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
