Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 28.23 | 15.81 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 24.23 – 34.87 | 25.31 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 21.65 | 3.31 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 406.1 – 1652.58 | 478.58 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 123.14 | 56.72 – 117.22 |
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 | 18.82 – 26.18 | 21.38 – 24.55 |
| Clay | % | 26.2 – 35.34 | 27.8 – 33.58 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 8.36 – 13.37 | 9.62 – 12.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.19 – 1.66 | 1.26 – 1.45 |
| pH | — | 6.29 – 7.24 | 6.6 – 7 |
| Sand | % | 40.76 – 49.97 | 43.88 – 46.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 13.2 – 18.79 | 13.5 – 16.98 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
