Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 2.17 – 27.91 | 7.89 – 27.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 10.21 – 36.43 | 15.73 – 36.01 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -10.03 – 24.43 | -2.87 – 24.01 |
| Annual precipitation | 231.5 – 5806.72 | 231.5 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 11.16 – 112.34 | 14.46 – 110.54 |
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 | 6.67 – 42.09 | 8.3 – 38.5 |
| Clay | % | 10.86 – 60.95 | 16.32 – 52.45 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.51 – 28.15 | 1.4 – 22.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.63 – 8.27 | 0.79 – 5.41 |
| pH | — | 4 – 8.4 | 4.1 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 8.44 – 69.79 | 15.8 – 62.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.82 – 126.67 | 8.7 – 83.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
