Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 28.71 | 15.81 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 23.79 – 37.29 | 25.31 – 35.73 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.09 | 3.31 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 180.82 – 2359.82 | 225.52 – 1944.14 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 45.7 – 123.8 | 56.72 – 121.26 |
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 | 4.61 – 30.85 | 5.5 – 23.98 |
| Clay | % | 6.91 – 41.98 | 9.4 – 37.23 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 33.12 | 1.45 – 22.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 3.5 | 0.49 – 2.22 |
| pH | — | 4.93 – 8.1 | 5.38 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 27.82 – 88.73 | 36.42 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.9 – 46.75 | 3.35 – 32.05 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
