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 – 20.41 | 3.43 – 18.97 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 77.74 – 123.14 | 78.96 – 121.26 |
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 | 8.3 – 22.15 | 12.8 – 18.3 |
| Clay | % | 14.35 – 30.02 | 17.1 – 23.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.58 – 11.18 | 4.4 – 7.92 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.56 – 1.44 | 0.82 – 1.15 |
| pH | — | 5.8 – 6.9 | 6.1 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 51.73 – 74.38 | 60.38 – 69.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.66 – 21.02 | 9 – 14 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
