Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 30.45 | 17.07 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 43.85 | 22.45 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.87 | 8.11 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2192.5 |
| 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 | 6.75 – 39.34 | 10.22 – 28.35 |
| Clay | % | 17.01 – 41.16 | 20.73 – 37.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7 – 19.28 | 9.18 – 15.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.58 – 3.04 | 0.68 – 2.03 |
| pH | — | 5.76 – 7.01 | 6.2 – 6.67 |
| Sand | % | 33.63 – 59.41 | 37.9 – 53.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.76 – 35.18 | 9.03 – 27.23 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
