Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 17.65 – 29.91 | 18.31 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 25.13 – 40.91 | 25.67 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.17 – 22.65 | 11.35 – 21.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 3643.82 | 64.48 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 5.3 – 39.19 | 6.4 – 26.27 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 48.68 | 14.18 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.6 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.36 – 6.97 | 0.4 – 3.4 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.38 | 4.7 – 8.12 |
| Sand | % | 21.16 – 82.09 | 36.65 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 45.27 | 3.7 – 35.38 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
