Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | 0.73 – 18.69 | 2.17 – 18.15 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.61 – 37.05 | 21.99 – 36.27 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -17.39 – 5.59 | -14.13 – 4.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 149.5 – 2565.68 | 180.26 – 1761.08 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 15.22 – 95.42 | 18.94 – 90.02 |
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 | 15.94 – 29.5 | 20.43 – 25.9 |
| Clay | % | 7.58 – 28.48 | 13.72 – 23.38 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.17 – 27 | 13.25 – 22.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.12 – 3.98 | 1.61 – 2.68 |
| pH | — | 6 – 8 | — – — |
| Sand | % | 23.97 – 66.31 | 35.33 – 50.35 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 10.8 – 74.72 | 22.3 – 46.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
