Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 23.79 – 29.91 | 24.51 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 33.09 – 43.85 | 33.81 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.93 – 22.87 | 9.53 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 28.02 – 2547.34 | 32.4 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 153.8 | 53.4 – 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 | 5.88 – 14.47 | 6.6 – 10.45 |
| Clay | % | 16.57 – 26.2 | 19.57 – 24.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.78 – 15.4 | 8.28 – 11.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.55 – 1.52 | 0.72 – 0.97 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 6.4 | 6.03 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 39.02 – 61.54 | 47.88 – 59.58 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.24 – 20.65 | 9.43 – 11.45 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
