Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.03 – 27.91 | 11.51 – 27.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 10.21 – 35.05 | 15.73 – 34.63 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -1.33 – 23.49 | 6.43 – 22.85 |
| Annual precipitation | 590.94 – 4768.34 | 1115.74 – 4104.66 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 14.22 – 84.82 | 15.72 – 78.88 |
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 | 9.9 – 21.34 | 12.3 – 15.8 |
| Clay | % | 22.44 – 38.84 | 26.1 – 33.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.68 – 12.2 | 1.7 – 5.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.35 – 3.3 | 1.75 – 2.45 |
| pH | — | 4.2 – 5.2 | 4.4 – 4.9 |
| Sand | % | 26.9 – 50.5 | 32.8 – 44.4 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 16.5 – 84.26 | 24.3 – 49.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
