Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.57 – 28.23 | 18.19 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 23.79 – 34.87 | 25.47 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 21.65 | 5.77 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 347.36 – 2359.82 | 357.38 – 1944.14 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 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 | 4.61 – 29.36 | 5.5 – 23.15 |
| Clay | % | 6.91 – 41.8 | 9.4 – 36 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 19.36 | 1.45 – 11.53 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 3.5 | 0.49 – 2.22 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.09 | 4.8 – 7.8 |
| Sand | % | 27.83 – 88.73 | 39.8 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.9 – 46.75 | 3.35 – 32.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
