Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 30.45 | 8.81 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 41.31 | 19.71 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 21.65 | -4.61 – 20.69 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 1788.72 | 13.28 – 1429.98 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 39.94 – 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 | 4.63 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 48.68 | 7.97 – 38.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 33.99 | 1.45 – 29.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 3.5 | 0.49 – 2.35 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 8.88 | 5.12 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 20.91 – 88.73 | 29.1 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 67.02 | 3.35 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
