Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 21.17 – 28.71 | 21.71 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.03 – 44.91 | 27.69 – 43.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.81 – 22.87 | 3.71 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 17.78 – 3643.82 | 20.06 – 2323.78 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 110.6 |
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 | 5.3 – 39.86 | 6.92 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 46.04 | 15.5 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 39.87 | 1.6 – 30.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.42 – 11.22 | 0.63 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.5 | 4.7 – 8.4 |
| Sand | % | 32.52 – 82.79 | 38.6 – 80.17 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.4 – 90.21 | 4.1 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
