Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 29.17 | 15.81 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 40.33 | 21.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.93 | 2.01 – 21.99 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 64.48 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 20.1 – 28.82 | 21.1 – 25.1 |
| Clay | % | 25.54 – 37.5 | 29.4 – 35.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.32 – 15.34 | 9.2 – 12.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.52 – 5.26 | 2.99 – 4.83 |
| pH | — | 5.1 – 5.7 | 5.2 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 33.7 – 39.98 | 34.8 – 38.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 34.4 – 74.3 | 46.6 – 63 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
