Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.73 | 17.07 – 29.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 44.05 | 21.45 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.25 – 23.55 | 6.33 – 23.55 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 2359.82 | 53.98 – 2046.82 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 9.54 – 39.91 | 14.22 – 22.98 |
| Clay | % | 20.98 – 41.69 | 28.32 – 36 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.37 – 21.46 | 5.12 – 10.05 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.94 – 2.61 | 1.16 – 1.95 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 7.62 | 5.8 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 28.37 – 63.96 | 37.77 – 54.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 11.38 – 33.38 | 14.4 – 23.88 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
