Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 29.57 | 14.77 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 21.65 | -0.01 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 41.44 – 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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 48.68 | 7.97 – 38.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.81 – 30.98 | 1.48 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 6.97 | 0.41 – 3.4 |
| pH | — | 5.01 – 8.88 | 5.3 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 88.73 | 29.1 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 45.2 | 3.35 – 26.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
