Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.53 – 30.45 | 12.01 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.89 – 44.05 | 21.45 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -12.39 – 23.85 | -2.43 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 4437.78 | 13.28 – 4355.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.38 – 197.44 | 23.16 – 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 | 8.55 – 26.77 | 11.47 – 20.48 |
| Clay | % | 7.1 – 33.8 | 8.9 – 29.05 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.67 – 16.75 | 3.5 – 11.62 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 3.8 | 0.61 – 2.77 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 6.55 | 5.08 – 6.03 |
| Sand | % | 24.27 – 88.2 | 30.57 – 86.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.17 – 76.97 | 6.5 – 56.25 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
