Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 22.89 | 15.93 – 22.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.71 | 26.51 – 33.93 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 15.57 | 2.01 – 13.77 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1572.48 | 95.22 – 1387.38 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 120.44 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 11 – 14.7 | 11.93 – 14.2 |
| Clay | % | 4.9 – 17.1 | 5.4 – 15.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 12.5 – 42.25 | 17 – 36.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.5 – 0.66 | 0.55 – 0.57 |
| pH | — | 7.5 – 9.1 | 7.6 – 9.1 |
| Sand | % | 58.1 – 81.7 | 71.05 – 80.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.55 – 4.75 | 2.8 – 3.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
