Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 15.21 – 29.91 | 15.81 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 22.91 – 43.85 | 25.01 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | 2.47 – 22.87 | 3.31 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 31.22 – 3010.18 | 47.78 – 2783.44 |
| 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 | 7.17 – 26.77 | 10.6 – 19.12 |
| Clay | % | 13.78 – 41.27 | 21.45 – 33.62 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.1 – 24.66 | 6.47 – 17.73 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.86 – 4.91 | 1.33 – 2.64 |
| pH | — | 4.9 – 6.5 | 5.4 – 5.92 |
| Sand | % | 31.84 – 72.19 | 41.1 – 62.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 10.54 – 49.66 | 16.77 – 33 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
