Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 30.73 | 14.77 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 42.29 | 24.21 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 22.65 | -0.01 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 1926.5 |
| 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 | 23.86 – 33.93 | 24.25 – 28.05 |
| Clay | % | 30.89 – 50.23 | 34.1 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.67 – 18 | 7.3 – 16.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.13 – 2.9 | 1.48 – 2.71 |
| pH | — | 6.2 – 8.2 | 6.5 – 7.5 |
| Sand | % | 29.64 – 40.74 | 34.4 – 39.05 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15.77 – 38.72 | 24 – 35.55 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
