Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.73 | 14.77 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 22.87 | -0.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| 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 | 7.03 – 22.8 | 12 – 19.18 |
| Clay | % | 14.8 – 37.05 | 20.3 – 27.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.3 – 15.88 | 4.8 – 9.88 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.63 – 2.56 | 0.92 – 1.83 |
| pH | — | 5.4 – 7.2 | 6 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 38 – 74.38 | 51.73 – 63.08 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.12 – 35.62 | 10.3 – 22.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
