Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.91 | 17.47 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 | 6.29 – 10.6 | 7.03 – 9.07 |
| Clay | % | 15.01 – 22.24 | 18.68 – 20.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.17 – 21.1 | 7 – 11.07 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 0.73 | 0.59 – 0.66 |
| pH | — | 6.05 – 6.7 | 6.4 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 52.48 – 66.69 | 54.65 – 59.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.33 – 10.02 | 7.9 – 8.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
