Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 16.75 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 43.85 | 21.85 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.41 – 22.89 | 3.43 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 4960.86 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 6.3 – 31.85 | 9 – 16.45 |
| Clay | % | 14.55 – 40.6 | 19.75 – 29.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.55 – 22 | 5.7 – 13.75 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.4 – 2.81 | 0.57 – 1.26 |
| pH | — | 5.2 – 7.3 | 5.95 – 6.8 |
| Sand | % | 29.65 – 72.7 | 43.2 – 60.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.8 – 33.95 | 6.65 – 14.55 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
