Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.71 | 8.55 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 40.85 | 16.25 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 25.65 | -7.05 – 25.65 |
| Annual precipitation | 162.6 – 6553.5 | 185.22 – 6553.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 140.54 | 7.64 – 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 | 12.05 – 28.8 | 18.1 – 25.2 |
| Clay | % | 26.52 – 38.18 | 30.3 – 36.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 6.81 – 14.88 | 9.35 – 12.8 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2 – 6.3 | 2.65 – 4.45 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 5.49 | 4.9 – 5.1 |
| Sand | % | 21.32 – 51.29 | 24.95 – 31.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 31.34 – 101.22 | 47.8 – 82.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
