Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.87 | 9.53 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 | 5.7 – 12.1 | 6.7 – 10.5 |
| Clay | % | 15.72 – 26.5 | 18.12 – 20.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.58 – 20.85 | 4.83 – 9.62 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 0.85 | 0.43 – 0.66 |
| pH | — | 6.2 – 6.7 | 6.4 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 50.52 – 72.65 | 53.08 – 65.97 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.7 – 10.12 | 4.53 – 9.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
