Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.65 – 29.17 | 18.19 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 40.33 | 21.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 7.85 – 22.93 | 8.11 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 64.48 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 6.04 – 26.4 | 15.32 – 24.6 |
| Clay | % | 22 – 64 | 29.07 – 57 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.67 – 15.46 | 8.9 – 12 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.04 – 5 | 3.28 – 4.89 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 5.41 | 4.83 – 5.28 |
| Sand | % | 13.3 – 62.02 | 17.4 – 32.45 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.68 – 53.7 | 34.45 – 43.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
