Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.17 – 28.19 | 16.77 – 26.99 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 29.61 – 45.19 | 31.99 – 44.53 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -2.37 – 12.65 | 1.11 – 11.03 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 821.92 | 1.72 – 542.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 35.78 – 148.86 | 41.9 – 131.94 |
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 | 13.38 – 20.38 | 15 – 16.8 |
| Clay | % | 18.4 – 26.96 | 20.6 – 25 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 20.34 – 35.96 | 22.3 – 32.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.44 – 1.15 | 0.52 – 0.81 |
| pH | — | 7.5 – 8.2 | 7.9 – 8.1 |
| Sand | % | 43.8 – 56.32 | 47.7 – 53.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.1 – 9.92 | 3.7 – 6.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
