Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 23.75 – 29.91 | 24.51 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 33.09 – 43.85 | 33.81 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.25 – 22.87 | 10.51 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 2547.34 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 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 | 5.59 – 14.11 | 7.22 – 10.7 |
| Clay | % | 15.16 – 27.21 | 19.1 – 23.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.17 – 22.77 | 9.6 – 15.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.42 – 1.89 | 0.55 – 1.11 |
| pH | — | 5.26 – 6.6 | 6 – 6.4 |
| Sand | % | 41.99 – 67.21 | 49.02 – 59.67 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.8 – 24.2 | 7.1 – 11.07 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
