Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.39 | 8.61 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 37.63 | 16.27 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.27 – 25.17 | -5.79 – 24.51 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 5884.7 | 1113.64 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 106.98 | 13.9 – 98.04 |
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 | 9.32 – 29.8 | 11.5 – 28.2 |
| Clay | % | 23.24 – 35.86 | 29.7 – 34.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.46 – 16 | 8.5 – 12.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.28 – 5.01 | 1.76 – 4.65 |
| pH | — | 4.64 – 5.66 | 5 – 5.5 |
| Sand | % | 32.24 – 49.94 | 35.5 – 38.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 19.86 – 91.72 | 30.9 – 70.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
