Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 28.71 | 17.47 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 38.57 | 24.21 – 35.73 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.09 | 8.11 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 180.82 – 2252.88 | 225.52 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 123.8 | 39.94 – 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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 14.25 – 45.9 | 16 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 33.12 | 1.45 – 22.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.55 – 3.5 | 0.65 – 2.5 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.1 | 5.2 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 80 | 29.1 – 74.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.71 – 56.31 | 8.85 – 30.35 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
