Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.73 | 17.07 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 42.93 | 22.45 – 41.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.65 | 9.53 – 21.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 2104.64 | 13.28 – 1848.56 |
| 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 | 5.82 – 22.86 | 6.8 – 9.8 |
| Clay | % | 9.35 – 31.95 | 13 – 21.98 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.8 – 25.77 | 3.35 – 11.68 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.36 – 1.23 | 0.36 – 0.39 |
| pH | — | 6.37 – 6.83 | 6.53 – 6.75 |
| Sand | % | 45.31 – 83.34 | 64.1 – 79.4 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.23 – 13.57 | 3.7 – 4.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
