Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 29.17 | 15.81 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 40.33 | 24.21 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.05 | 2.01 – 21.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 3643.82 | 64.48 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 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 | 7.72 – 21.9 | 12.2 – 18.3 |
| Clay | % | 16.2 – 38 | 22.4 – 31.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.24 – 10.5 | 3.6 – 6.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.61 – 2.28 | 0.96 – 1.72 |
| pH | — | 5.4 – 6.9 | 5.7 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 37.42 – 73.96 | 44.9 – 63 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.2 – 29.29 | 11.1 – 21.38 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
