Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 21.93 – 29.91 | 22.41 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.53 – 40.91 | 28.01 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 14.29 – 22.87 | 16.49 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 456.5 – 4226.84 | 491.66 – 3812.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 148.92 | 27.5 – 146.52 |
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 | 8.92 – 31.94 | 10.3 – 20 |
| Clay | % | 15.72 – 43.46 | 21.5 – 30.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.42 – 27.26 | 11.4 – 20.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.77 – 4.46 | 1.28 – 2.87 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 6.28 | 5 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 37.42 – 68.62 | 46.9 – 58.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.02 – 44.19 | 17.1 – 29.55 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
