Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 14.19 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 44.91 | 25.01 – 43.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.41 – 22.65 | 3.71 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3889.76 | 13.28 – 3365.12 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 46.86 – 197.44 | 51.38 – 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 | 5.53 – 43.99 | 6.4 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 10.33 – 48.68 | 12.57 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.3 – 39.87 | 3.48 – 30.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 11.57 | 0.4 – 5.04 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.5 | 5.2 – 8.4 |
| Sand | % | 18.34 – 77.8 | 27.45 – 68.65 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 1.8 – 39.06 | 3.2 – 29.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
