Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.73 | 17.47 – 29.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 184.48 |
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 | 5.9 – 22.04 | 7.8 – 15.3 |
| Clay | % | 13.2 – 37.16 | 18.3 – 27.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.5 – 24.92 | 6.3 – 14.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.3 – 1.26 | 0.43 – 0.77 |
| pH | — | 6 – 8.2 | 6.3 – 7.2 |
| Sand | % | 32.7 – 73.88 | 46.9 – 63.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.02 – 11.98 | 3.9 – 8.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
