Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -7.63 – 28.39 | -5.59 – 27.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 9.41 – 40.85 | 10.31 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -25.85 – 25.17 | -24.47 – 24.51 |
| Annual precipitation | 358.9 – 5677.46 | 418.24 – 4109.48 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 8.4 – 141.52 | 9.6 – 137.44 |
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 | 10.8 – 43.99 | 13.28 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 11 – 47.26 | 13.6 – 43.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 32.5 | 3.3 – 25.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.85 – 6.59 | 0.95 – 4.11 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.6 | 4.7 – 8.1 |
| Sand | % | 16.72 – 63.5 | 22.7 – 56 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.2 – 185.09 | 8.85 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
