Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 29.91 | 15.81 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 43.85 | 21.85 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.89 | 3.31 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 31.22 – 4960.86 | 47.78 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 6.14 – 15.68 | 9.8 – 13.7 |
| Clay | % | 16.68 – 32.36 | 20.4 – 24.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.3 – 16.54 | 3.3 – 12.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.61 – 2.1 | 0.77 – 1.76 |
| pH | — | 4.74 – 6.1 | 5.6 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 31.62 – 72 | 43 – 72 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.06 – 38.96 | 10.1 – 24.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
