Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.31 – 29.17 | 17.07 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.01 – 40.33 | 22.45 – 39.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 8.03 – 22.09 | 8.11 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 1881.56 | 64.48 – 1848.56 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 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 | 20.9 – 41.92 | 23.1 – 24.2 |
| Clay | % | 33.14 – 37.26 | 34.7 – 36.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 9.78 – 16.4 | 10.2 – 13.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.36 – 1.77 | 1.38 – 1.49 |
| pH | — | 5 – 7.5 | 5.5 – 7 |
| Sand | % | 33.8 – 43.9 | 40.8 – 42.4 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15 – 23.96 | 15.8 – 19.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
