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 – 40.75 | 18.73 – 40.33 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.89 | 3.31 – 22.39 |
| 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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 6.91 – 48.68 | 9.5 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 33.99 | 1.45 – 29.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 11.22 | 0.49 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.38 | 4.7 – 8.12 |
| Sand | % | 20.91 – 88.73 | 29.1 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.9 – 96.43 | 3.35 – 71.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
