Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 23.25 | 14.77 – 23.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.71 | 26.51 – 34.05 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 15.57 | -0.01 – 13.77 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1572.48 | 95.22 – 1387.38 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 120.44 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 9.39 – 17.8 | 10 – 11.6 |
| Clay | % | 9.77 – 17.4 | 12 – 16.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.7 – 14.82 | 6.3 – 12.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 0.71 | 0.53 – 0.57 |
| pH | — | 7.09 – 7.8 | 7.3 – 7.6 |
| Sand | % | 65.4 – 81.71 | 67.5 – 80.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.2 – 5.4 | 3.1 – 3.9 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
