Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.39 | 8.61 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 40.85 | 16.27 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 25.31 | -7.05 – 25.19 |
| Annual precipitation | 464.26 – 5884.7 | 586.18 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 140.54 | 7.64 – 128.36 |
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 | 9.1 – 43.99 | 11.07 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 15.02 – 47.26 | 18.65 – 42.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.21 – 30.33 | 3.3 – 25.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 19 | 0.4 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 4.5 – 8.09 | 4.7 – 7.3 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 69.91 | 21.1 – 62.75 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 5.08 – 188.47 | 7.53 – 138.65 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
