Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 15.81 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 34.87 | 22.45 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 21.27 | 2.01 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 162.6 – 2252.88 | 185.22 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
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 – 29.34 | 6 – 22.65 |
| Clay | % | 13.61 – 45.9 | 16 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 24.7 | 1.45 – 15.25 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 3.41 | 0.53 – 2.5 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.19 | 4.8 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 32.2 – 80 | 36.2 – 74.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4 – 67.02 | 4.78 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
