Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.07 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.91 | 22.45 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 21.65 | 8.11 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 2252.88 | 53.98 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 180.92 | 39.94 – 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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 10.33 – 48.68 | 12.57 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.81 – 34.07 | 1.48 – 30.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.36 – 4.12 | 0.4 – 3.07 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 8.38 | 5.12 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 20.91 – 82.56 | 29.1 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 67.02 | 3.7 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
