Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 28.23 | 8.81 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 34.87 | 19.71 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 21.65 | -4.61 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 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 | 12.24 – 24.14 | 17.1 – 20.18 |
| Clay | % | 15.19 – 26.7 | 18.65 – 23.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.48 – 12.54 | 3.7 – 8.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.62 – 1.85 | 0.94 – 1.23 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 7.3 | 6.1 – 6.8 |
| Sand | % | 55.6 – 72.62 | 60.42 – 68.2 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.9 – 25.5 | 9.3 – 15.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
