Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.23 – 26.95 | 12.37 – 26.95 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 36.47 | 16.27 – 35.93 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.93 – 25.65 | 8.19 – 25.65 |
| Annual precipitation | 464.26 – 6553.5 | 586.18 – 6553.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 120.74 | 7.64 – 109.88 |
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 | 10.33 – 43.12 | 13.38 – 39.1 |
| Clay | % | 18.41 – 48.21 | 23.25 – 44.95 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.12 – 17.16 | 5.55 – 13.57 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 6.59 | 0.4 – 6.07 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 8.09 | 4.7 – 7.1 |
| Sand | % | 19.68 – 69.91 | 22.7 – 62.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.08 – 153.47 | 7.53 – 129.85 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
