Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 17.65 – 29.91 | 18.31 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.13 – 40.91 | 25.67 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.95 – 22.87 | 10.79 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 406.1 – 3643.82 | 478.58 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 148.92 | 27.5 – 146.52 |
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 | 4.61 – 39.86 | 6 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 46.04 | 14.18 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.6 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.36 – 11.22 | 0.4 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.09 | 4.7 – 7.8 |
| Sand | % | 27.83 – 82.79 | 38.92 – 80.17 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.86 – 90.21 | 5 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
