Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.23 – 26.97 | 12.37 – 26.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 38.05 | 16.27 – 37.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.93 – 25.17 | 8.19 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 395.96 – 5677.46 | 408.74 – 4109.48 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 8.4 – 120.84 | 9.6 – 119.52 |
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 | 10.56 – 35 | 14.3 – 22.5 |
| Clay | % | 21.02 – 40.7 | 25.6 – 32.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.02 – 10.86 | 7 – 9.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.02 – 2.9 | 1.31 – 1.96 |
| pH | — | 5.16 – 5.9 | 5.5 – 5.7 |
| Sand | % | 25.6 – 61.32 | 44.1 – 52.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.24 – 42.4 | 23.9 – 36.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
