Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 44.91 | 25.01 – 43.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.81 – 22.87 | 3.71 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 3.7 – 3643.82 | 4.66 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 | 5.53 – 41.99 | 6.4 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 48.68 | 14.18 – 38.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.74 – 39.87 | 3.1 – 30.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 11.22 | 0.4 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.5 | 5.3 – 8.4 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 82.09 | 29.1 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 90.21 | 3.2 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
