Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.05 – 29.91 | 17.07 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 22.87 | 5.77 – 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 | 6.66 – 14.19 | 7.58 – 11.03 |
| Clay | % | 10.05 – 29.81 | 20.25 – 23.35 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.8 – 17.41 | 8.5 – 14.35 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 1.02 | 0.6 – 0.84 |
| pH | — | 5.96 – 6.7 | 6.28 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 37.02 – 82.08 | 44.85 – 61.45 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.95 – 9.55 | 6.95 – 9.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
