Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 18.93 – 29.91 | 19.53 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 28.47 – 43.85 | 28.77 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 9.25 – 22.87 | 9.97 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 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 | 5.3 – 39.86 | 6.4 – 28.9 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 46.04 | 14.18 – 41.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 28.91 | 1.48 – 25.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.34 – 11.22 | 0.4 – 5.05 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.3 | 4.7 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 29.71 – 82.56 | 38.92 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.81 – 90.21 | 3.38 – 53.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
