Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 28.51 | 15.81 – 28.03 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 37.49 | 21.45 – 37.05 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.93 | 3.31 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 406.1 – 2547.34 | 478.58 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 123.14 | 49.32 – 115.7 |
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 | 5.04 – 39.86 | 6.65 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 15.02 – 45.9 | 18.2 – 41.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.21 – 28.91 | 2.15 – 24.02 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.55 – 11.22 | 0.65 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.93 – 8.09 | 5.2 – 7.8 |
| Sand | % | 27.83 – 80 | 33.38 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.71 – 90.21 | 8.85 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
