Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 28.71 | 18.65 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 38.79 | 21.85 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 21.99 |
| Annual precipitation | 694.24 – 4960.86 | 982.12 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 118.58 | 27.5 – 109.72 |
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 | 5.3 – 24.49 | 6.92 – 18.8 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 46.76 | 15.5 – 43.52 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.48 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 6.97 | 0.63 – 4.83 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 6.7 | 4.5 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 31.92 – 82.79 | 35.7 – 80.17 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.32 – 96.43 | 7.95 – 71.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
