Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 29.57 | 15.81 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 24.23 – 43.85 | 25.31 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.65 | 3.31 – 21.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2104.64 | 47.78 – 1636.64 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 153.8 | 53.4 – 145.82 |
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 – 30.85 | 5.55 – 23.98 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 41.8 | 7.97 – 36 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 33.12 | 1.45 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 3.5 | 0.41 – 1.96 |
| pH | — | 5.11 – 8.88 | 5.4 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 27.82 – 86.89 | 36.42 – 83.38 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 44.24 | 3.38 – 23.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
