Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.23 – 28.39 | 12.37 – 27.49 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 37.63 | 16.27 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 25.17 | 8.19 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 5677.46 | 1113.64 – 4109.48 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 12.34 – 106.98 | 13.9 – 98.04 |
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 | 33.4 – 35 | 35 – 35 |
| Clay | % | 40.7 – 41.5 | 40.7 – 40.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.9 – 9.6 | 7.9 – 7.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.78 – 2.9 | 2.9 – 2.9 |
| pH | — | 5.6 – 5.6 | 5.6 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 25.5 – 25.6 | 25.6 – 25.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 42.4 – 51.4 | 42.4 – 42.4 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
