Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.31 – 28.23 | 18.23 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 34.87 | 24.21 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.05 – 21.65 | 8.11 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 406.1 – 2252.88 | 478.58 – 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 | 7 – 9.3 | 7.4 – 9 |
| Clay | % | 10.89 – 17.2 | 12.9 – 14.95 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1 – 3.35 | 1.25 – 3.17 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.49 – 0.86 | 0.55 – 0.64 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 5.7 | 5.5 – 5.67 |
| Sand | % | 77.11 – 84.2 | 78.6 – 82.85 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.36 – 12.7 | 9.2 – 12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
