Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 22.87 | 5.77 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 5.68 – 45.53 | 28.02 – 40.88 |
| Clay | % | 13.65 – 40.7 | 33.62 – 39.25 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.42 – 20.31 | 10.68 – 17.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.35 – 2.79 | 1.54 – 2.23 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 6.86 | 6 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 27.88 – 76.94 | 34.27 – 39.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.56 – 30.12 | 19.6 – 28.48 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
