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 – 41.31 | 22.45 – 41.25 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 21.65 | 9.97 – 21.15 |
| 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 | 6.47 – 33.09 | 9.47 – 21.3 |
| Clay | % | 15.2 – 44.09 | 20 – 33.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.54 – 20.71 | 8.28 – 16.05 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.68 – 3.25 | 0.99 – 1.91 |
| pH | — | 5.24 – 7.16 | 5.6 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 25.18 – 67.06 | 36.27 – 58.27 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.2 – 48.25 | 11.6 – 23.73 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
