Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.43 – 29.17 | 18.65 – 28.79 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 20.23 – 41.31 | 21.85 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.89 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 4960.86 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 6.02 – 13.14 | 6.6 – 11.8 |
| Clay | % | 19.08 – 29.44 | 19.8 – 27.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 26.64 – 45.2 | 28.3 – 38.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.05 – 1.38 | 1.11 – 1.25 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 5.04 | 4.9 – 4.9 |
| Sand | % | 54.24 – 62.6 | 56.1 – 61.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 17.08 – 21.5 | 17.4 – 19.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
