Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 14.77 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.03 – 34.87 | 25.99 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 16.71 | -0.01 – 15.63 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 10.1 – 13.37 | 10.9 – 13.18 |
| Clay | % | 5.4 – 17.9 | 8.15 – 17.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.79 – 38.4 | 11.3 – 32.08 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 0.57 | 0.51 – 0.57 |
| pH | — | 7.4 – 9.1 | 7.6 – 9.07 |
| Sand | % | 58 – 80.8 | 58.1 – 75.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.7 – 3.7 | 2.9 – 3.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
