Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 28.71 | 18.65 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 38.79 | 21.85 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 21.99 |
| Annual precipitation | 694 – 4960.86 | 828.34 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 118.58 | 27.5 – 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 | 6.7 – 25.68 | 8.43 – 17.88 |
| Clay | % | 19.44 – 36.53 | 26.77 – 34.95 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.07 – 17.89 | 4.2 – 11.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.21 – 4.22 | 1.25 – 2.99 |
| pH | — | 4 – 8 | 5 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 25.23 – 65.39 | 32.6 – 63.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 17.05 – 72.75 | 21.2 – 39.83 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
