Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 14.19 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.41 – 22.87 | 3.73 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3969.54 | 13.28 – 3521.16 |
| 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 | 6.88 – 27.6 | 10.35 – 16.18 |
| Clay | % | 16 – 43.53 | 21.93 – 32.25 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.4 – 20.75 | 6.67 – 15 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 1.29 | 0.41 – 0.68 |
| pH | — | 5.83 – 7.6 | 6.38 – 6.85 |
| Sand | % | 40.24 – 69.36 | 48.62 – 60.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.6 – 12.8 | 6.15 – 9.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
