Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.09 – 25.57 | 16.75 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.87 | 26.51 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 21.27 | 3.43 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1881.56 | 95.22 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 119.12 |
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 | 5.87 – 13.33 | 7.33 – 10.9 |
| Clay | % | 6.6 – 16.8 | 8.45 – 15.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.94 – 11.3 | 3.8 – 6.95 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 0.76 | 0.53 – 0.64 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 7.6 | 6.4 – 7.3 |
| Sand | % | 66.5 – 88.1 | 68.8 – 85.47 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 9.1 | 3.62 – 5.58 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
