Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 21.93 – 29.91 | 22.41 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 27.53 – 40.91 | 28.01 – 40.37 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 14.29 – 22.87 | 16.49 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 456.5 – 4226.84 | 491.66 – 3812.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 148.92 | 27.5 – 146.52 |
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 | 7.75 – 28.61 | 11.28 – 18.85 |
| Clay | % | 16.05 – 44.97 | 24.98 – 35.83 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.56 – 24.55 | 7.03 – 19.27 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.23 – 4.29 | 1.61 – 2.78 |
| pH | — | 4.6 – 6.04 | 4.9 – 5.5 |
| Sand | % | 34.27 – 66.79 | 43.45 – 52.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 16.05 – 44.32 | 20.93 – 34.58 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
