Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.73 | 16.75 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 22.87 | 3.43 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 30.22 – 197.44 | 33.52 – 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 | 7.7 – 24.59 | 10.2 – 16.18 |
| Clay | % | 13.61 – 37.89 | 19.1 – 28.07 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.8 – 21.8 | 5 – 14.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.59 – 2.21 | 0.87 – 1.43 |
| pH | — | 5.41 – 7.5 | 5.9 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 35.6 – 71.59 | 52.12 – 63.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.1 – 26.8 | 8.3 – 17 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
