Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 29.91 | 18.65 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 40.91 | 21.85 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 456.5 – 4960.86 | 491.66 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 148.92 | 27.5 – 146.52 |
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 | 6.73 – 17.03 | 12.95 – 13.55 |
| Clay | % | 20.52 – 30.41 | 26.4 – 28.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.71 – 38.09 | 18.85 – 22.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.18 – 2.81 | 2.41 – 2.77 |
| pH | — | 4.71 – 5.18 | 4.9 – 5 |
| Sand | % | 39.8 – 62.6 | 47.5 – 48.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 18.67 – 49.62 | 34.8 – 40.9 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
