Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -2.57 – 30.73 | 0.73 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 44.91 | 20.23 – 43.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -22.23 – 22.87 | -19.89 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2783.44 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 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 | 5.98 – 30.22 | 8.4 – 18.7 |
| Clay | % | 8.86 – 37.48 | 16.7 – 31.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.54 – 20.46 | 5.8 – 13.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.48 – 2.93 | 0.6 – 2.02 |
| pH | — | 5.8 – 7.26 | 6 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 35.26 – 85.38 | 43.6 – 67.5 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.34 – 35.5 | 7.8 – 25.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
