Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.57 – 30.45 | 13.07 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 44.05 | 18.73 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.93 | 2.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3934.06 | 13.28 – 3626.8 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 18.4 – 27.2 | 18.57 – 25.82 |
| Clay | % | 29.75 – 53.75 | 31.5 – 37 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.1 – 16.12 | 6.75 – 8.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.29 – 4.97 | 2.5 – 3.15 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 5.99 | 5.58 – 5.9 |
| Sand | % | 23.23 – 44.11 | 34.95 – 41.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 18 – 58 | 25.85 – 41.27 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
