Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 22.45 – 29.57 | 23.29 – 29.21 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 30.79 – 43.85 | 31.99 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.87 | 10.51 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 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 | 5.71 – 39.86 | 7.25 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 48.68 | 15.55 – 36.75 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.3 – 28.91 | 3.48 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 11.22 | 0.41 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.38 | 5.3 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 21.16 – 71.47 | 36.65 – 65.05 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.81 – 90.21 | 3.38 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
