Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 30.45 | 8.61 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 43.85 | 16.27 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 25.31 | -7.05 – 25.19 |
| Annual precipitation | 28.02 – 5884.7 | 32.4 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 8.4 – 180.92 | 9.6 – 165.44 |
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 | 5.3 – 43.99 | 6.4 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 10.12 – 48.68 | 14.18 – 43.7 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.7 – 33.99 | 1.48 – 29.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 19 | 0.4 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 4.4 – 8.38 | 4.7 – 8.12 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 82.56 | 21.1 – 77.42 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 188.47 | 3.2 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
