Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 21.93 – 29.91 | 22.41 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.53 – 43.85 | 28.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.87 | 10.51 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4226.84 | 13.28 – 3812.24 |
| 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 | 7.93 – 21.8 | 10.1 – 14.5 |
| Clay | % | 14.32 – 44.45 | 19.8 – 30.35 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.63 – 22.94 | 7.4 – 15.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.64 – 2.97 | 0.95 – 2.17 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 6.6 | 5.1 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 31.52 – 72.59 | 42.1 – 56.2 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.37 – 41.72 | 11.47 – 29.12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
