Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 28.23 | 15.81 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 38.57 | 25.01 – 34.85 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 21.65 | 2.01 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 162.6 – 2367.84 | 185.22 – 2217.54 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
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 | 6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 13.61 – 46.04 | 16 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 26.94 | 1.45 – 20.23 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 3.5 | 0.53 – 2.34 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.19 | 4.7 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 80 | 29.1 – 74.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4 – 44.24 | 4.78 – 35.38 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
