Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.31 – 25.57 | 18.23 – 25.09 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 34.87 | 24.21 – 34.21 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 5.11 – 21.27 | 5.77 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2252.88 | 95.22 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
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 | 5.95 – 11.28 | 6.75 – 8.28 |
| Clay | % | 16.38 – 22.2 | 17.1 – 19.18 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.12 – 6.38 | 3.27 – 5.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.53 – 0.71 | 0.61 – 0.69 |
| pH | — | 5.92 – 6.53 | 6 – 6.25 |
| Sand | % | 62.77 – 71.42 | 66.9 – 69.47 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.35 – 12.57 | 7.8 – 9.68 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
