Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 40.33 | 21.85 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 24.61 | 8.11 – 24.55 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 64.48 – 4736.7 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 23.35 – 28.25 | 25.1 – 28 |
| Clay | % | 33.7 – 56 | 40.95 – 55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4 – 7.9 | 4 – 6.65 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 3.56 – 5.31 | 4.53 – 5.11 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 5.55 | 4.8 – 5.2 |
| Sand | % | 20.9 – 34.95 | 23.65 – 27.85 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 40 – 68.55 | 42.3 – 62.4 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
