Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.57 – 28.51 | 13.07 – 28.03 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 43.39 | 18.73 – 41.71 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -0.91 – 23.55 | -0.01 – 23.55 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 3934.06 | 95.22 – 3626.8 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 141.08 | 27.5 – 129.2 |
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 | 7.03 – 13.9 | 9.62 – 13.5 |
| Clay | % | 7.3 – 18.95 | 13.1 – 15.65 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.42 – 13.8 | 3.85 – 13.18 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 0.71 | 0.49 – 0.63 |
| pH | — | 5.8 – 7.5 | 6.4 – 7.4 |
| Sand | % | 66.9 – 87.38 | 68.9 – 74.33 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 9.22 | 3.55 – 7.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
