Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -1.63 – 24.41 | 1.85 – 23.87 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.65 – 41.65 | 21.25 – 38.67 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.63 – 12.31 | -15.93 – 10.03 |
| Annual precipitation | 130.7 – 1312.88 | 152.54 – 984.28 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 12.48 – 116.32 | 18.94 – 103.72 |
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 | 11.29 – 18.73 | 13.3 – 16.65 |
| Clay | % | 15.26 – 27.13 | 17.7 – 22.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.37 – 32.7 | 14.6 – 27.65 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.39 – 1.05 | 0.54 – 0.9 |
| pH | — | 6.2 – 8 | 7.7 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 41.91 – 61.42 | 50.3 – 57.15 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.39 – 9.72 | 4.6 – 6.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
