Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.33 | 22.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.09 | 8.11 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 1881.56 | 64.48 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 14.25 – 48.68 | 16 – 38.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 33.12 | 1.45 – 22.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.45 – 3.5 | 0.54 – 2.21 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.38 | 4.8 – 8.12 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 80 | 29.1 – 74.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.2 – 67.02 | 3.7 – 45.92 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
