Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 28.23 | 16.75 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 38.57 | 25.01 – 34.85 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 21.65 | 3.43 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 320.76 – 1652.58 | 455.04 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 123.14 | 63.58 – 121.26 |
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 | 9.31 – 29.93 | 13.85 – 21.15 |
| Clay | % | 18.79 – 45.55 | 25.95 – 33.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.5 – 16.66 | 5.55 – 10.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.82 – 2.14 | 1.05 – 1.55 |
| pH | — | 5.6 – 7.52 | 5.9 – 6.7 |
| Sand | % | 26.09 – 66.71 | 44.75 – 59.35 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.14 – 25.82 | 12.32 – 19.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
