Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.73 | 15.81 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 44.05 | 22.45 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.87 | 2.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 20.9 – 44.59 | 22.65 – 33.2 |
| Clay | % | 22.39 – 40.46 | 33.05 – 37.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 9.66 – 22.96 | 11.55 – 16.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.29 – 2.73 | 1.38 – 2.27 |
| pH | — | 5.7 – 7.99 | 6.05 – 6.8 |
| Sand | % | 31.21 – 48.06 | 33.9 – 42.4 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15 – 36.05 | 16.55 – 30.15 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
