Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 30.73 | 8.61 – 29.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 42.29 | 17.61 – 40.79 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 22.09 | -7.05 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 51.1 – 5802.76 | 53.98 – 4182.52 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 140.54 | 39.94 – 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 | 7.62 – 43.99 | 9.95 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 11.31 – 45.72 | 12.57 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.21 – 35.72 | 2.15 – 32.95 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.44 – 19 | 0.59 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 5.1 – 8.29 | 5.2 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 80 | 21.1 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.62 – 64.43 | 4.2 – 52.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
