Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.45 | 15.93 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 44.05 | 25.01 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.41 – 22.65 | 2.01 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2291.18 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 – 18.8 | 13.8 – 14.4 |
| Clay | % | 11.6 – 16.9 | 13.9 – 15.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.2 – 21.5 | 10.2 – 14.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.48 – 0.86 | 0.49 – 0.55 |
| pH | — | 6.4 – 7.6 | 7.4 – 7.6 |
| Sand | % | 70.4 – 82.3 | 70.8 – 74.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 9.3 | 3.7 – 4.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
