Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 0.73 – 26.85 | 4.93 – 25.29 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.41 – 41.65 | 21.85 – 38.67 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -17.39 – 21.19 | -13.19 – 18.29 |
| Annual precipitation | 130.7 – 2546.36 | 152.54 – 2097.26 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 15.22 – 116.32 | 18.94 – 110.54 |
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 | 12.94 – 25.18 | 15.65 – 22.55 |
| Clay | % | 16.59 – 35.12 | 20.5 – 29.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 11.7 – 33.21 | 16.25 – 25.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.94 – 1.55 | 1.15 – 1.33 |
| pH | — | 6.2 – 8.5 | 6.8 – 7.5 |
| Sand | % | 28.42 – 54.64 | 36.7 – 51.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.94 – 20.5 | 10.9 – 15.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
