Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 28.39 | -9.61 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 40.85 | 9.57 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 23.85 | -30.77 – 22.67 |
| Annual precipitation | 424.64 – 5802.76 | 550.1 – 4182.52 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 20.06 – 140.54 | 20.78 – 128.36 |
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 | 11.48 – 34.9 | 13 – 28 |
| Clay | % | 26 – 37.54 | 26.6 – 30.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.2 – 16.4 | 8.1 – 15.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.53 – 8.02 | 2.03 – 8.02 |
| pH | — | 4.56 – 6.3 | 5.5 – 6.3 |
| Sand | % | 29.02 – 46.2 | 41.4 – 42.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 21.02 – 80.8 | 27.7 – 80.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
