Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 3.09 – 30.73 | 9.99 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 19.69 – 45.51 | 25.01 – 45.27 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -13.29 – 22.09 | -7.71 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 1596.62 | 1.72 – 1387.38 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 41.44 – 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 | 9.93 – 16.8 | 11.6 – 14.18 |
| Clay | % | 15.3 – 33.1 | 18.02 – 23.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 12.43 – 33.2 | 17.6 – 30.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.53 – 4.29 | 0.69 – 1.98 |
| pH | — | 7.8 – 8.7 | 7.9 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 27.5 – 57.98 | 42.8 – 50.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.86 – 13.22 | 3.67 – 5.85 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
