Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 16.75 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 44.05 | 25.01 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.41 – 22.65 | 3.43 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 197.44 | 50.9 – 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 | 10.67 – 14.7 | 13.45 – 14.2 |
| Clay | % | 5.4 – 15.1 | 12.78 – 15.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 19.9 – 36.8 | 19.9 – 27.95 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.51 – 0.64 | 0.55 – 0.56 |
| pH | — | 7.5 – 9.1 | 7.6 – 8.35 |
| Sand | % | 71.56 – 80.8 | 74.8 – 75.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.7 – 4.47 | 3.4 – 3.62 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
