Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 23.79 – 29.91 | 24.51 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 33.09 – 43.85 | 33.81 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.25 – 22.87 | 10.51 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 2547.34 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 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 | 6.46 – 12.58 | 7.9 – 8.7 |
| Clay | % | 18.34 – 27.12 | 24 – 26.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.48 – 20.54 | 11.9 – 15.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.78 – 1.25 | 0.84 – 0.88 |
| pH | — | 5.78 – 6.12 | 5.8 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 41.94 – 61.74 | 44.8 – 47.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.54 – 16.8 | 10.4 – 11.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
