Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 16.75 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 22.87 | 3.43 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 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 | 6.47 – 16.61 | 8.43 – 14.1 |
| Clay | % | 10.98 – 27.91 | 22.1 – 25.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.88 – 20.42 | 10.4 – 16.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.57 – 2.09 | 0.82 – 1.86 |
| pH | — | 5.6 – 6.62 | 5.6 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 38.9 – 81.84 | 40.7 – 49.45 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.03 – 24.41 | 9.82 – 22.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
