Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 14.77 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.87 | 26.51 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 16.71 | -0.01 – 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 | 9.91 – 13.19 | 10.1 – 10.9 |
| Clay | % | 14.8 – 16.8 | 15.3 – 16.77 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.3 – 11.3 | 7.03 – 11.22 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 0.63 | 0.46 – 0.51 |
| pH | — | 7.11 – 7.6 | 7.3 – 7.6 |
| Sand | % | 66.5 – 68.8 | 66.6 – 67.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 4.19 | 3.2 – 3.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
