Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.39 | 8.61 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 37.63 | 16.27 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.27 – 25.17 | -5.79 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 464.26 – 5884.7 | 586.18 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 120.74 | 7.64 – 109.88 |
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 | 7.54 – 17.27 | 11 – 15.47 |
| Clay | % | 17.93 – 30.7 | 20.62 – 24.68 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.87 – 10.96 | 6.75 – 9.28 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.84 – 2.11 | 1.05 – 1.53 |
| pH | — | 5.27 – 5.96 | 5.5 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 46.5 – 66.06 | 52.8 – 61.95 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 13.04 – 37.73 | 15.2 – 27.85 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
