Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 29.91 | -9.61 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 43.85 | 9.57 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 25.17 | -30.77 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 5884.7 | 13.28 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 197.44 | 13.9 – 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 | 7.29 – 27.81 | 10.8 – 17.55 |
| Clay | % | 16.14 – 43.26 | 23.3 – 35.2 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3 – 21.45 | 6.22 – 14.57 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.67 – 4.43 | 1.18 – 2.4 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 6.4 | 5.3 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 24.28 – 69.21 | 36.12 – 55.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 9.04 – 65 | 13.9 – 34 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
