Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 28.71 | 19.53 – 28.17 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 28.47 – 38.79 | 28.77 – 37.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.43 – 22.65 | 9.97 – 21.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 694.24 – 3643.82 | 982.12 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 118.58 | 27.5 – 109.72 |
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 | 5.3 – 21.84 | 6.92 – 17.62 |
| Clay | % | 12.31 – 46.04 | 15.55 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.48 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 6.97 | 0.63 – 3.4 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 6.7 | 4.7 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 32.52 – 82.56 | 38.92 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.32 – 45.2 | 7.95 – 35.38 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
