Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 22.45 – 29.91 | 23.29 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 30.79 – 43.85 | 31.99 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 184.48 |
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 | 6.83 – 16.3 | 12.6 – 14.4 |
| Clay | % | 19.2 – 28.12 | 23 – 26.18 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 8.15 – 18.8 | 10.62 – 16.48 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.67 – 2.09 | 1.47 – 1.91 |
| pH | — | 5.6 – 6.4 | 5.6 – 5.97 |
| Sand | % | 36.8 – 59.95 | 40.62 – 46.83 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.4 – 24.6 | 17.68 – 22.88 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
