Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 11.23 – 28.07 | 12.37 – 27.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 15.37 – 40.85 | 16.27 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 1.05 – 23.33 | 7.77 – 22.71 |
| Annual precipitation | 708.88 – 5677.46 | 832.9 – 4109.48 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 12.34 – 140.54 | 13.9 – 128.36 |
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 | 10.8 – 43.99 | 13.28 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 23.39 – 47.26 | 27.85 – 42.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 26.75 | 3.3 – 20.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.86 – 11.57 | 0.95 – 5.04 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 7.5 | 4.7 – 7.3 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 48 | 21.1 – 39.4 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.2 – 185.09 | 8.85 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
