Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 13.41 – 29.17 | 15.81 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.33 | 22.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 22.87 | 2.01 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 3643.82 | 64.48 – 1926.5 |
| 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 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 48.68 | 7.97 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.7 | 1.45 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 11.22 | 0.49 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.88 | 4.8 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 88.73 | 29.1 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 90.21 | 3.35 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
