Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 14.19 – 28.39 | 20.19 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 23.41 – 40.85 | 26.77 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 23.85 | 8.49 – 21.77 |
| Annual precipitation | 708.88 – 3189.98 | 832.9 – 2603.94 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 71.04 – 140.54 | 72.72 – 128.36 |
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 | 12.02 – 43.99 | 13.6 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 20.88 – 45.83 | 26.4 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.33 – 26.75 | 5.4 – 19.85 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.85 – 5.54 | 0.95 – 3.18 |
| pH | — | 5.2 – 7.5 | 5.3 – 7.3 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 53.23 | 21.1 – 42.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.62 – 54.13 | 8.85 – 35.48 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
