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 – 42.91 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 22.87 | -30.77 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 3643.82 | 13.28 – 2705.5 |
| 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 | 6.7 – 13.52 | 10.3 – 12.4 |
| Clay | % | 6.82 – 14.16 | 7.3 – 9.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.54 – 6.96 | 3.5 – 4.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.46 – 0.72 | 0.59 – 0.63 |
| pH | — | 5.9 – 6.82 | 6 – 6.4 |
| Sand | % | 77.32 – 88.2 | 84.5 – 88.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.36 – 7.88 | 5.2 – 7.4 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
