Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 29.91 | 8.81 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 43.85 | 19.71 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 22.87 | -4.61 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2217.54 |
| 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 | 6.5 – 12.83 | 7.4 – 12.2 |
| Clay | % | 6.17 – 15.23 | 6.6 – 11.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.07 – 6.9 | 3.7 – 5.08 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 0.66 | 0.55 – 0.62 |
| pH | — | 6.3 – 7.2 | 6.6 – 6.9 |
| Sand | % | 76.83 – 88.33 | 80.28 – 86.83 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.3 – 9 | 3.55 – 4.97 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
