Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 9.97 – 28.39 | 12.37 – 27.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 38.05 | 16.27 – 37.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 0.11 – 25.65 | 4.79 – 25.65 |
| Annual precipitation | 395.96 – 6553.5 | 408.74 – 6553.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 120.84 | 7.64 – 119.52 |
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 | 7.9 – 43.12 | 11.07 – 39.1 |
| Clay | % | 18.41 – 47.26 | 21.88 – 42.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 26.68 | 3.3 – 24.05 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 7.8 | 0.4 – 6.07 |
| pH | — | 4.2 – 8.09 | 4.6 – 7.5 |
| Sand | % | 17.96 – 73.87 | 24.4 – 70.33 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.08 – 188.47 | 6.28 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
