Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.39 | 8.61 – 27.49 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 37.63 | 17.61 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.27 – 25.31 | -5.79 – 25.19 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 5884.7 | 1113.64 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 106.98 | 17.16 – 98.04 |
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 | 11.7 – 29.7 | 16.6 – 25.4 |
| Clay | % | 28.5 – 42.7 | 33.2 – 39 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.9 – 14.3 | 7.1 – 10.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.88 – 6.46 | 2.59 – 4.23 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 5.8 | 5 – 5.4 |
| Sand | % | 24.6 – 41.1 | 29.5 – 35 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 26.7 – 96.5 | 39.8 – 69.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
