Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 23.75 – 29.91 | 25.07 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 33.91 – 43.85 | 34.63 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.65 | 8.03 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 2104.64 | 13.28 – 1636.64 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 69.52 – 197.44 | 72.7 – 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 | 5.53 – 39.19 | 6.4 – 26.27 |
| Clay | % | 10.33 – 48.68 | 14.18 – 34.27 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.3 – 30.98 | 3.48 – 22.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 3.76 | 0.4 – 2.03 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 8.38 | 5.7 – 8.3 |
| Sand | % | 21.16 – 77.8 | 36.65 – 68.65 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 45.27 | 3.2 – 25.43 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
