Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 28.23 | 15.81 – 27.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 40.85 | 21.45 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 24.61 | 3.31 – 24.55 |
| Annual precipitation | 384.08 – 2923.14 | 478.58 – 2907.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 40.04 – 140.54 | 41.06 – 128.36 |
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 | 7.32 – 43.99 | 8.35 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 13.61 – 45.72 | 16.85 – 41.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.21 – 22.2 | 2.15 – 18.05 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.55 – 5.39 | 0.65 – 4.54 |
| pH | — | 4.93 – 8.09 | 5.3 – 7.8 |
| Sand | % | 18.34 – 80 | 27.45 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.71 – 74.7 | 6.65 – 67.17 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
