Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 28.23 | 8.81 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 34.87 | 19.71 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 21.65 | -4.61 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 7.32 – 29.36 | 8.35 – 23.15 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 41.98 | 7.97 – 37.23 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.21 – 28.7 | 2.15 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 3.5 | 0.53 – 2.35 |
| pH | — | 5.11 – 8.88 | 5.4 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 27.83 – 82.28 | 39.8 – 78.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 44.24 | 3.48 – 31.02 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
