Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 25.57 | 14.77 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.87 | 26.51 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 20.41 | -0.01 – 18.97 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1652.58 | 95.22 – 1410.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 123.14 | 41.44 – 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 | 10.69 – 17.8 | 13.38 – 16.12 |
| Clay | % | 5.4 – 16.7 | 8.3 – 15.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.7 – 36.8 | 11.97 – 19.25 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.48 – 0.64 | 0.5 – 0.62 |
| pH | — | 7 – 9.1 | 7.5 – 8.1 |
| Sand | % | 70.31 – 81.6 | 71.9 – 79.47 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.2 – 4.5 | 2.7 – 4.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
