Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 22.45 – 28.71 | 23.29 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 29.23 – 38.79 | 30.25 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 14.29 – 22.87 | 16.49 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 694.24 – 3643.82 | 982.12 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 30.22 – 118.58 | 33.52 – 109.72 |
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 | 7.12 – 20.04 | 13.3 – 17.8 |
| Clay | % | 24.93 – 39.9 | 25.3 – 36.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.8 – 14.7 | 2.8 – 10.45 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.48 – 4.25 | 1.74 – 3.08 |
| pH | — | 4.2 – 5.47 | 4.4 – 4.8 |
| Sand | % | 18.5 – 52.3 | 27.9 – 52 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 16.28 – 79.66 | 26.3 – 61.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
