Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.05 – 28.23 | 17.07 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 34.71 | 22.45 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.75 – 21.65 | 10.79 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 406.1 – 1881.56 | 478.58 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 122.58 | 27.5 – 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 | 22.3 – 30 | 25.5 – 27.8 |
| Clay | % | 30.1 – 61.41 | 38.83 – 55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.9 – 9.4 | 4.2 – 7.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 4.29 – 5.33 | 4.55 – 5 |
| pH | — | 5 – 6.5 | 5.5 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 15.11 – 35.9 | 21.85 – 27.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 41.7 – 70.03 | 50.65 – 63.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
