Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 9.59 – 30.45 | 11.51 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 13.33 – 41.69 | 15.73 – 40.91 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 23.93 | 3.43 – 23.75 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 4768.34 | 14.6 – 4104.66 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 14.22 – 180.92 | 15.72 – 167.46 |
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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 54.28 | 7.97 – 50.02 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.81 – 33.99 | 1.48 – 29.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.39 – 6.91 | 0.45 – 4.59 |
| pH | — | 4 – 8.88 | 4.1 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 15.39 – 88.73 | 24.15 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 126.67 | 3.35 – 81.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
