Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.87 | 8.11 – 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 | 11.3 – 28.2 | 12.4 – 26.3 |
| Clay | % | 23.4 – 58.82 | 25.9 – 48.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4 – 19.6 | 6.2 – 16.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.14 – 5.22 | 1.44 – 4.71 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 6.4 | 5.1 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 18.8 – 52.2 | 24.8 – 50 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 13.62 – 64.36 | 17.6 – 52.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
