Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -7.63 – 28.39 | -5.59 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 9.41 – 37.63 | 10.31 – 37.15 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -25.85 – 23.85 | -24.47 – 23.09 |
| Annual precipitation | 358.9 – 5884.7 | 418.24 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 141.52 | 17.16 – 137.44 |
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 | 12.29 – 26.91 | 15.7 – 21.4 |
| Clay | % | 21.93 – 41.7 | 29.02 – 35.3 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.7 – 24.66 | 8.3 – 18.57 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.4 – 7.3 | 2.01 – 3.65 |
| pH | — | 4.8 – 6.16 | 5.2 – 5.7 |
| Sand | % | 24.14 – 46.91 | 30.6 – 37.85 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 15.94 – 79.75 | 22.23 – 55.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
