Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 30.45 | -9.93 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 4.83 – 45.19 | 8.01 – 44.53 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 25.17 | -30.77 – 24.51 |
| Annual precipitation | 29.72 – 4437.78 | 40.58 – 4355.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 14.14 – 180.92 | 14.86 – 165.44 |
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 | 10.3 – 43.99 | 12.2 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 7.58 – 48.68 | 13.6 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.92 – 36 | 2.38 – 31.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.29 – 11.57 | 0.37 – 5.25 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 8.6 | 4.9 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 12.2 – 76.8 | 16.7 – 70.33 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 0.32 – 117.6 | 1 – 83.83 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
