Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 29.57 | 8.81 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 43.85 | 19.71 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 22.87 | -4.61 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 | 7 – 9.29 | 7.5 – 8.68 |
| Clay | % | 10.35 – 22 | 12.57 – 18.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.4 – 10.16 | 1.7 – 2.75 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 0.91 | 0.51 – 0.73 |
| pH | — | 5.41 – 6.1 | 5.5 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 57.65 – 84.17 | 73.03 – 82.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.4 – 12.3 | 9.35 – 11.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
