Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.47 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 41.31 | 25.01 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.87 | 10.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 9.11 – 36.66 | 13.2 – 27.93 |
| Clay | % | 21.64 – 38.55 | 24.35 – 36.95 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 10.24 – 16.45 | 10.93 – 14.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.84 – 2.76 | 1.16 – 2.61 |
| pH | — | 5.75 – 6.5 | 5.92 – 6.22 |
| Sand | % | 32.19 – 56.66 | 35.27 – 43.67 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9 – 37.95 | 11.65 – 30.32 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
