Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 40.33 | 21.85 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.89 | 8.11 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 4960.86 | 53.98 – 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 | 17.64 – 29.33 | 18.1 – 26.8 |
| Clay | % | 28.61 – 33.35 | 31.45 – 32.17 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5 – 15.94 | 5.75 – 13.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.75 – 4.05 | 2.85 – 3.51 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 7 | 5 – 6.5 |
| Sand | % | 32.9 – 39.45 | 34.52 – 35.85 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 33.61 – 57.92 | 37.9 – 52.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
