Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 7.01 – 22.89 | 8.81 – 22.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 18.51 – 34.71 | 19.71 – 33.93 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -7.67 – 11.17 | -4.61 – 10.43 |
| Annual precipitation | 25.62 – 1185.54 | 95.22 – 1065.18 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 120.44 | 41.44 – 119.12 |
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 | 11.2 – 17.19 | 11.2 – 16.6 |
| Clay | % | 7.1 – 10.7 | 7.4 – 7.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 14.5 – 17.26 | 15.4 – 16.7 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.58 – 0.67 | 0.58 – 0.64 |
| pH | — | 8 – 8.1 | 8.05 – 8.1 |
| Sand | % | 71.93 – 78.6 | 75.5 – 78.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 4.21 – 4.8 | 4.3 – 4.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
