Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 22.45 – 29.91 | 23.29 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 30.79 – 43.85 | 31.99 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 50.64 – 197.44 | 53.4 – 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 | 6.3 – 11.84 | 6.5 – 10.6 |
| Clay | % | 15.54 – 25.9 | 19.2 – 22.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.14 – 21.1 | 7 – 16.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.52 – 1.35 | 0.6 – 0.81 |
| pH | — | 5.84 – 6.7 | 6.2 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 46.56 – 62.66 | 51.8 – 57.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.54 – 17.7 | 8.2 – 9.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
