Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 30.45 | -9.61 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 43.85 | 9.57 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 22.89 | -30.77 – 21.99 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 5802.76 | 13.28 – 4736.7 |
| 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 | 5.7 – 12.28 | 6.6 – 12.1 |
| Clay | % | 8.7 – 20.5 | 11.9 – 18.5 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.56 – 9.62 | 4.2 – 6.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.35 – 0.76 | 0.55 – 0.68 |
| pH | — | 6.1 – 6.7 | 6.2 – 6.6 |
| Sand | % | 57.18 – 83.92 | 68.2 – 81.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.24 – 9.24 | 5.2 – 9.1 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
