Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.73 | 17.07 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 44.05 | 22.45 – 43.69 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 4.71 – 22.09 | 5.01 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 1881.56 | 1.72 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 11.2 – 24.23 | 13.9 – 16.12 |
| Clay | % | 7.1 – 31.66 | 7.8 – 15.25 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 10.22 – 20.14 | 14.5 – 19.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.48 – 3.13 | 0.55 – 0.64 |
| pH | — | 5.89 – 8.1 | 7.5 – 8.1 |
| Sand | % | 36.17 – 78.6 | 71.8 – 75.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.4 – 43.92 | 3.48 – 4.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
