Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 15.81 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 24.23 – 34.87 | 25.31 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 20.41 | 2.01 – 18.97 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 121.26 |
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 | 4.61 – 23.74 | 5.5 – 19.65 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 41.98 | 7.97 – 37.23 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 28.7 | 1.45 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 2.15 | 0.49 – 1.96 |
| pH | — | 5.3 – 8.88 | 5.4 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 35.83 – 88.73 | 42.12 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 30.99 | 3.35 – 23.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
