Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| 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 – 1926.5 |
| 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 | 5.75 – 12.6 | 6.7 – 9.18 |
| Clay | % | 15.22 – 26.5 | 16.95 – 21.77 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.4 – 18.98 | 4.53 – 9.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.3 – 0.64 | 0.36 – 0.54 |
| pH | — | 6.1 – 6.7 | 6.4 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 52.8 – 73.83 | 57.05 – 66.33 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.6 – 8.55 | 4 – 7.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
