Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.03 – 28.47 | 11.51 – 27.87 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 10.21 – 36.57 | 15.73 – 36.01 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -1.33 – 24.43 | 3.63 – 24.01 |
| Annual precipitation | 265.22 – 5806.72 | 301.94 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 14.22 – 112.34 | 15.72 – 110.54 |
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 | 7.68 – 42.09 | 9.97 – 38.5 |
| Clay | % | 15.91 – 60.95 | 20.3 – 52.45 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.01 – 24.27 | 2.1 – 22.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.83 – 8.27 | 1.04 – 5.41 |
| pH | — | 4 – 8.4 | 4.1 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 11.18 – 65.38 | 15.8 – 52.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.29 – 126.67 | 11.28 – 81.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
