Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.45 | 15.93 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 21.65 | 2.01 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 2547.34 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 | 13.5 – 14.4 | 13.8 – 14.2 |
| Clay | % | 13.1 – 15.9 | 15.1 – 15.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 11.3 – 18.48 | 11.3 – 13.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 0.54 | 0.48 – 0.5 |
| pH | — | 7.4 – 7.6 | 7.5 – 7.5 |
| Sand | % | 70.4 – 74.33 | 70.4 – 72.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 4.1 | 3.5 – 4.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
