Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| 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 | 6.64 – 25.28 | 8.6 – 13.2 |
| Clay | % | 15.48 – 38.2 | 19.7 – 27.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.02 – 19.98 | 8.8 – 14.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.51 – 2.19 | 0.7 – 1.28 |
| pH | — | 5.7 – 6.7 | 6.1 – 6.4 |
| Sand | % | 33.16 – 65.88 | 43.7 – 55.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.7 – 28.12 | 8.6 – 13.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
