Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.47 – 28.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 41.31 | 21.45 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 7.85 – 22.93 | 8.11 – 21.91 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4226.84 | 13.28 – 3812.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 – 41.99 | 6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 12.41 – 48.68 | 16 – 43.52 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 26.94 | 1.45 – 21.07 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 4.16 | 0.54 – 3.54 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.38 | 4.5 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 82.56 | 29.1 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 56.76 | 3.7 – 52.48 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
