Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.31 – 29.91 | 18.23 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 43.85 | 24.21 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 6.59 – 22.87 | 8.03 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| 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 | 6.9 – 10.04 | 7.5 – 9 |
| Clay | % | 11.78 – 25.88 | 14.2 – 22 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.2 – 21.1 | 2.3 – 15.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.47 – 0.99 | 0.57 – 0.86 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 6.6 | 5.5 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 45.16 – 83.42 | 57.7 – 78.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 8.34 – 12.94 | 9.7 – 12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
