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 – 21.65 | 8.11 – 21.15 |
| 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 | 9.05 – 42.83 | 15.72 – 23.77 |
| Clay | % | 25.68 – 51.91 | 32.33 – 40.08 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.56 – 17.14 | 5.7 – 10.35 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1 – 4.07 | 1.67 – 2.8 |
| pH | — | 5.2 – 7.32 | 5.5 – 6.1 |
| Sand | % | 20.29 – 58.86 | 32.85 – 44.98 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 12.63 – 52.06 | 22.2 – 39.75 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
