Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| 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 | 6.3 – 16.64 | 6.5 – 12.1 |
| Clay | % | 17.05 – 26.84 | 19.2 – 23.27 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7 – 21.1 | 8.15 – 15 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.59 – 1.86 | 0.64 – 1.53 |
| pH | — | 5.68 – 6.7 | 5.92 – 6.4 |
| Sand | % | 38.56 – 61.41 | 46.23 – 58.38 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.2 – 25.34 | 8.7 – 18.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
