Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 29.17 | 15.81 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.81 – 40.33 | 21.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.93 | 3.31 – 21.91 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 2359.82 | 64.48 – 2046.82 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 180.92 | 39.94 – 165.44 |
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 – 41.99 | 5.5 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 5.21 – 48.68 | 7.97 – 41.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.75 – 33.12 | 1.45 – 23.4 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 4.16 | 0.49 – 3.54 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 8.88 | 5.12 – 8.7 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 88.73 | 29.1 – 84.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 67.02 | 3.35 – 52.48 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
