Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.87 | 10.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2323.78 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 30.22 – 197.44 | 33.52 – 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 | 8.36 – 36.9 | 10.05 – 20.9 |
| Clay | % | 14.35 – 40.68 | 18.9 – 31.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 10.43 – 20.67 | 12.55 – 16.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.9 – 3.25 | 1.17 – 1.98 |
| pH | — | 5.33 – 6.37 | 5.8 – 6.1 |
| Sand | % | 27.99 – 72.2 | 43.55 – 61.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.03 – 32.43 | 16.4 – 26.85 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
