Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 29.91 | 15.81 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 41.31 | 21.85 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.89 | 2.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4960.86 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 10.02 – 35.82 | 20.9 – 21.5 |
| Clay | % | 15.22 – 35.44 | 33.5 – 35.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.1 – 9.62 | 5.9 – 6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.55 – 1.74 | 1.25 – 1.29 |
| pH | — | 6.72 – 7.34 | 6.8 – 6.8 |
| Sand | % | 38.34 – 68.32 | 49.1 – 49.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.7 – 19.6 | 14.4 – 16.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
