Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 16.09 – 28.23 | 16.75 – 27.51 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.87 – 34.87 | 24.21 – 34.47 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 3.19 – 21.65 | 3.43 – 21.15 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2252.88 | 95.22 – 1857.42 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 123.14 | 27.5 – 121.26 |
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 – 29.36 | 5.5 – 23.15 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 45.9 | 7.97 – 39.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.7 | 1.45 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 3.5 | 0.49 – 2.5 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.88 | 4.8 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 27.83 – 88.73 | 37.88 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 56.31 | 3.35 – 29.12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
