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 | 17.61 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.27 – 23.85 | -5.79 – 22.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 5802.76 | 1211.54 – 4182.52 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 20.06 – 106.98 | 20.78 – 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 | 9.1 – 30.82 | 10.55 – 25.7 |
| Clay | % | 15.02 – 47.26 | 21.7 – 42.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 30.33 | 3.3 – 25.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.85 – 19 | 1.14 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 7.2 | 4.7 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 54.95 | 21.1 – 50.65 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.62 – 185.09 | 11.12 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
