Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 16.75 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 22.87 | 3.43 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 – 30.4 | 7.1 – 11.8 |
| Clay | % | 14.9 – 35.7 | 18.6 – 23.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.2 – 21.1 | 7 – 16.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.53 – 2.08 | 0.59 – 1.01 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 6.7 | 6 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 36.1 – 73.2 | 52.6 – 66.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.6 – 29.3 | 8.2 – 11.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
