Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 29.91 | 19.53 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 28.43 – 40.91 | 28.77 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.87 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 456.5 – 3643.82 | 491.66 – 2783.44 |
| 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 | 11.17 – 13.79 | 11.6 – 13.1 |
| Clay | % | 22.7 – 27.32 | 23.8 – 26.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 13.1 – 20.5 | 15.8 – 18.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.14 – 1.95 | 1.35 – 1.61 |
| pH | — | 5.7 – 6.4 | 6.1 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 41.5 – 53 | 49.6 – 50.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 13.9 – 30.4 | 15.2 – 22 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
