Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.09 – 25.57 | 16.75 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.19 – 34.87 | 26.51 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 21.27 | 3.43 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1881.56 | 95.22 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 119.12 |
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 | 7.17 – 12 | 7.58 – 10.62 |
| Clay | % | 8.3 – 15.38 | 9.07 – 14.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.18 – 6.62 | 2.52 – 4.53 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 0.85 | 0.55 – 0.76 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 6.53 | 5.6 – 6.03 |
| Sand | % | 78 – 86.92 | 78.83 – 84.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.88 – 12.7 | 7.97 – 12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
