Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 12.33 – 27.09 | 13.71 – 26.89 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.71 – 39.87 | 21.85 – 38.67 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.37 – 24.43 | 3.63 – 24.01 |
| Annual precipitation | 130.7 – 5806.72 | 152.54 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 20.36 – 116.32 | 31.94 – 110.54 |
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 | 11.14 – 26.63 | 16.65 – 22.4 |
| Clay | % | 24.81 – 40.99 | 29.55 – 36.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.8 – 20.03 | 8.7 – 13.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.92 – 5.81 | 2.65 – 4.17 |
| pH | — | 5.17 – 6.8 | 5.4 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 29.3 – 49.1 | 33.7 – 43.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 22.56 – 59.46 | 29.5 – 41.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
