Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 28.71 | 19.53 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.53 – 38.79 | 28.01 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.87 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 694.24 – 4226.84 | 982.12 – 3812.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 118.58 | 27.5 – 109.72 |
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 | 8.79 – 22.81 | 10.75 – 14.6 |
| Clay | % | 17.58 – 45.33 | 25.3 – 37.95 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.99 – 23.71 | 6 – 14.85 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.2 – 3.46 | 1.7 – 2.53 |
| pH | — | 4.6 – 6.1 | 4.8 – 5.2 |
| Sand | % | 35.77 – 65.02 | 42.65 – 54.25 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 14.79 – 47.53 | 23.3 – 36.02 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
