Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.05 – 28.71 | 17.07 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 38.79 | 22.45 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 10.77 – 22.65 | 11.61 – 21.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 694.24 – 3643.82 | 981.62 – 2217.54 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 118.58 | 27.5 – 107.12 |
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 – 29.34 | 6.92 – 22.65 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 46.04 | 15.5 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.6 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 6.97 | 0.63 – 3.4 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 6.7 | 4.7 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 32.2 – 82.79 | 36.2 – 80.17 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.32 – 67.02 | 7.95 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
