Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 30.73 | -9.61 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 44.05 | 9.57 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 22.87 | -30.77 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 2414.06 | 1.72 – 1944.14 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 197.44 | 27.5 – 184.48 |
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 | 20.25 – 29.57 | 26.5 – 28.8 |
| Clay | % | 18.97 – 25.01 | 21.5 – 23.48 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 21.11 – 29.07 | 22.73 – 25.15 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.56 – 3 | 2.71 – 2.88 |
| pH | — | 7.34 – 7.86 | 7.45 – 7.7 |
| Sand | % | 43.2 – 49.31 | 44.15 – 47.15 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 12.6 – 23.18 | 13.57 – 19.25 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
