Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 6.65 – 23.51 | 7.55 – 22.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 23.49 – 34.95 | 23.97 – 34.59 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -10.93 – 13.49 | -9.67 – 13.01 |
| Annual precipitation | 265.22 – 1915.64 | 301.94 – 1788.38 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 6.8 – 101.86 | 7.22 – 96.46 |
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 | 14.28 – 26.33 | 18.5 – 26.2 |
| Clay | % | 16.65 – 31.1 | 21.02 – 29.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.2 – 1.32 | 0.2 – 0.72 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.41 – 7.42 | 2.41 – 4.7 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 5.37 | 4.5 – 5 |
| Sand | % | 28.72 – 56.44 | 30.8 – 36 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 44.6 – 86.86 | 44.6 – 61.23 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
