Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.31 – 25.61 | 18.23 – 25.37 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 34.27 | 24.21 – 34.05 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 22.05 | 5.77 – 21.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2252.88 | 95.22 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 122.58 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
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 | 4.96 – 16.93 | 6.7 – 11.97 |
| Clay | % | 7.87 – 37.6 | 13.57 – 27.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.5 – 10.8 | 2.75 – 6.62 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.52 – 2.37 | 0.64 – 0.98 |
| pH | — | 5.59 – 7.41 | 5.9 – 6.53 |
| Sand | % | 37.62 – 87.91 | 54.27 – 78.62 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.46 – 24.4 | 7.8 – 13.38 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
