Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.03 – 27.91 | 11.51 – 27.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 10.21 – 35.05 | 15.73 – 34.63 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -1.33 – 24.43 | 5.57 – 24.05 |
| Annual precipitation | 343.72 – 5806.72 | 381.64 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 14.16 – 99.3 | 15.42 – 96.96 |
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 | 5.88 – 34.34 | 9.3 – 22.35 |
| Clay | % | 28.11 – 40.81 | 29.8 – 35.77 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.39 – 12.56 | 9.18 – 11.35 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.5 – 6.87 | 3.44 – 4.47 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 7.5 | 4.97 – 5.22 |
| Sand | % | 26.72 – 53.73 | 31.2 – 38.2 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 18.8 – 100.61 | 36.2 – 78.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
