Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 23.75 – 29.91 | 24.51 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 33.09 – 43.85 | 33.81 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 2547.34 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 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 | 5.53 – 39.86 | 6.4 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 35.54 | 14.18 – 31.38 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.26 – 30.98 | 5.8 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 11.22 | 0.4 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.38 | 5.3 – 8.3 |
| Sand | % | 29.71 – 82.09 | 38.92 – 68.65 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.81 – 90.21 | 3.38 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
