Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.45 | 15.81 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 40.75 | 24.21 – 40.33 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.09 | 2.01 – 21.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 3643.82 | 64.48 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 19.3 – 29.62 | 21.62 – 26.7 |
| Clay | % | 29.3 – 59.8 | 34.3 – 44.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.38 – 9.8 | 5.2 – 7.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.41 – 5.19 | 3 – 4.8 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 5.9 | 4.83 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 39.65 | 23.4 – 36.58 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 30.7 – 66.5 | 41.1 – 62.08 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
