Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.05 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.33 | 22.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.05 – 21.65 | 8.11 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 2252.88 | 64.48 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 18.35 – 28 | 20.45 – 24.8 |
| Clay | % | 29.3 – 44.3 | 31.5 – 37.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.2 – 11.7 | 6 – 9.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.53 – 5.29 | 2.72 – 4.54 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 5.7 | 5.2 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 22.5 – 40.25 | 33.7 – 37 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 30.7 – 67.8 | 36.9 – 58.35 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
