Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.33 | 22.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 21.65 | 10.01 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 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 | 18.1 – 26.69 | 20.3 – 23.25 |
| Clay | % | 28.3 – 40.57 | 31.6 – 36.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.02 – 11.48 | 5.7 – 8.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.54 – 5.65 | 2.72 – 4.07 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 5.89 | 5.3 – 5.7 |
| Sand | % | 27.23 – 43.08 | 35.5 – 38.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 30.07 – 68.67 | 35.7 – 53.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
