Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 25.57 | 19.53 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.21 – 34.87 | 28.29 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 16.71 | 5.77 – 15.73 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 77.74 – 123.14 | 81.52 – 119.12 |
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 | 5.5 – 19.52 | 8.55 – 17.07 |
| Clay | % | 10.75 – 29.2 | 15.82 – 22.52 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.12 – 14.68 | 2.7 – 7.35 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 1.1 | 0.58 – 0.87 |
| pH | — | 6.1 – 8.2 | 6.5 – 7.92 |
| Sand | % | 55.95 – 79.97 | 60.4 – 68.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.65 – 16.23 | 5.12 – 10.68 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
