Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 30.73 | -9.61 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 45.19 | 9.57 – 44.53 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 22.65 | -30.77 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 2414.06 | 1.72 – 1940.66 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 7.9 – 18.3 | 9.1 – 13 |
| Clay | % | 16 – 23.2 | 18 – 22.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.7 – 40 | 12.2 – 25.1 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.37 – 0.95 | 0.37 – 0.46 |
| pH | — | 6.4 – 8 | 6.5 – 6.9 |
| Sand | % | 52.9 – 76.8 | 62.4 – 68.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.6 – 7.5 | 4.3 – 5.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
