Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 12.33 – 28.47 | 13.71 – 27.87 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.71 – 39.87 | 19.61 – 38.67 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.37 – 23.29 | 3.63 – 21.85 |
| Annual precipitation | 89.8 – 5806.72 | 95.8 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 20.36 – 116.32 | 31.94 – 110.54 |
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 | 16.8 – 30.79 | 19.5 – 24.73 |
| Clay | % | 19.02 – 43.85 | 25.7 – 34 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 8.3 – 24.48 | 12.6 – 21.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.42 – 4.58 | 1.74 – 2.7 |
| pH | — | 5.62 – 7.5 | 6.2 – 7.1 |
| Sand | % | 30.83 – 57.88 | 38.5 – 51 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.2 – 57.15 | 19.3 – 32.02 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
