Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.23 – 26.93 | 12.37 – 26.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 32.71 | 16.27 – 31.55 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.93 – 25.17 | 8.19 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 1051.54 – 5884.7 | 1113.64 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 8.4 – 102.94 | 9.6 – 95.32 |
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 | 9.1 – 32.58 | 11.07 – 28 |
| Clay | % | 24.28 – 47.26 | 30.65 – 43.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 16.55 | 3.3 – 12.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.16 – 6.59 | 1.47 – 4.11 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 6.7 | 4.7 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 19.68 – 51.95 | 22.7 – 46.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15.18 – 188.47 | 20.15 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
