Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.05 – 29.57 | 17.07 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 43.85 | 21.85 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4960.86 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 8.7 – 13.3 | 10.5 – 12.6 |
| Clay | % | 18.6 – 26.8 | 23.2 – 25.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 8.8 – 19.3 | 14.1 – 17.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.71 – 1.8 | 1.14 – 1.44 |
| pH | — | 6 – 6.4 | 6.2 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 48.4 – 67.9 | 49.6 – 50.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.5 – 24.9 | 13.9 – 18 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
