Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.47 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 40.33 | 21.85 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 7.85 – 22.89 | 8.11 – 21.99 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 64.48 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 18.85 – 28.45 | 20.5 – 26.3 |
| Clay | % | 31.27 – 45.6 | 34.35 – 40.92 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.9 – 9.32 | 5.08 – 7.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.7 – 5.4 | 2.72 – 4.93 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 5.7 | 4.88 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 21.57 – 40.4 | 25.4 – 36.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 30.7 – 68.75 | 35.8 – 64.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
