Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 28.71 | 17.47 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 38.57 | 25.01 – 35.73 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.09 | 10.01 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 180.82 – 1596.62 | 225.52 – 1037.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 123.8 | 63.58 – 118.52 |
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 | 23 – 24.8 | 23 – 24.55 |
| Clay | % | 26.52 – 28.4 | 27.5 – 28.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 8.4 – 10.7 | 8.4 – 10.35 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.4 – 1.56 | 1.45 – 1.56 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 7.5 | 6 – 7 |
| Sand | % | 46.7 – 49.58 | 47.17 – 48.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15.03 – 17.5 | 16.9 – 17.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
