Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 29.57 | 15.81 – 28.91 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 45.51 | 22.45 – 45.27 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.97 – 22.65 | 2.21 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 2252.88 | 13.28 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 | 4.61 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 48.68 | 7.97 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 36.38 | 1.45 – 32.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.31 – 4.12 | 0.4 – 2.5 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.88 | 4.8 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 12.2 – 88.73 | 16.7 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.1 – 67.02 | 2.5 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
