Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 5.37 – 23.51 | 5.79 – 22.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 21.57 – 34.89 | 22.87 – 34.59 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -13.35 – 13.49 | -11.91 – 13.01 |
| Annual precipitation | 456.14 – 1915.64 | 557.48 – 1788.38 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.94 – 64.28 | 8.06 – 56.72 |
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 | 5.71 – 18.5 | 7.72 – 13.9 |
| Clay | % | 4 – 34.57 | 13.68 – 24.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.2 – 11.05 | 0.4 – 5.17 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.81 – 6.01 | 1.09 – 2.84 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 5.5 | 4.9 – 5.3 |
| Sand | % | 24.28 – 90.69 | 39.5 – 64.72 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 12.01 – 46.95 | 14.43 – 30.95 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
