Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 21.17 – 29.91 | 21.71 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.03 – 43.85 | 27.69 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 | 6.3 – 16.93 | 7.7 – 13.7 |
| Clay | % | 17.35 – 25.32 | 20.1 – 23.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.5 – 18.25 | 8.97 – 16.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.59 – 2.09 | 0.81 – 1.76 |
| pH | — | 5.6 – 6.41 | 5.78 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 39.99 – 61.07 | 42.5 – 58.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.2 – 25.03 | 9.6 – 21.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
