Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 30.45 | 8.81 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 40.75 | 19.71 – 40.33 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 21.65 | -4.61 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2252.88 | 64.48 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 18.3 – 27.32 | 18.6 – 25.85 |
| Clay | % | 25.01 – 38.2 | 33.1 – 36.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.82 – 11.54 | 6.8 – 9.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.42 – 4.6 | 2.98 – 3.67 |
| pH | — | 5.37 – 6.05 | 5.45 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 31.94 – 44.73 | 33.8 – 42.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 31.2 – 69.62 | 42.55 – 55.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
