Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 9.97 – 28.39 | 12.37 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 40.85 | 16.27 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -2.59 – 25.65 | -0.79 – 25.65 |
| Annual precipitation | 349.2 – 5884.7 | 373.44 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 140.54 | 13.9 – 128.36 |
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 | 9.5 – 21.75 | 12.5 – 18.1 |
| Clay | % | 16.25 – 47.42 | 20.57 – 45.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.75 – 10.01 | 6.28 – 9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.94 – 2.62 | 1.5 – 2.61 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 5.82 | 4.88 – 5.4 |
| Sand | % | 28.73 – 74.33 | 30.45 – 67.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 12.76 – 57.8 | 32.33 – 43.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
