Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.53 – 28.39 | 12.01 – 27.49 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.25 – 36.27 | 21.73 – 35.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -12.39 – 23.85 | -2.43 – 21.63 |
| Annual precipitation | 1034.72 – 3969.54 | 1113.64 – 3521.16 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 36.52 – 102.94 | 48.52 – 95.32 |
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 | 9.21 – 30.82 | 10.55 – 25.7 |
| Clay | % | 19.8 – 45.83 | 21.7 – 35.9 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.33 – 25.89 | 6.7 – 21.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.85 – 5.09 | 1.14 – 3.18 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 7.2 | 5 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 16.72 – 54.95 | 24.65 – 50.65 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.46 – 57.91 | 13.38 – 50.35 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
