Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.09 – 29.91 | 16.75 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 43.85 | 26.51 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 22.65 | 3.43 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 14.6 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 60.32 – 180.92 | 69.04 – 167.46 |
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 | 6.18 – 13.29 | 9.68 – 11.57 |
| Clay | % | 6.14 – 16.8 | 6.62 – 12.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.38 – 11.3 | 3.83 – 7.62 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 0.66 | 0.53 – 0.63 |
| pH | — | 6.1 – 7.55 | 6.53 – 7.17 |
| Sand | % | 66.5 – 88.89 | 80.3 – 87.58 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.09 – 7.26 | 3.6 – 5.28 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
