Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 15.93 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.87 | 26.51 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 16.71 | 2.01 – 15.63 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 9.3 – 14.2 | 10.1 – 13.5 |
| Clay | % | 7.14 – 16.8 | 9.9 – 16.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.8 – 14.68 | 6.9 – 11.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 0.65 | 0.49 – 0.56 |
| pH | — | 6.1 – 7.7 | 7.3 – 7.6 |
| Sand | % | 66.5 – 86.74 | 66.9 – 79.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 7.56 | 3.2 – 4.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
