Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 29.57 | -9.61 – 28.91 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 45.19 | 9.57 – 44.53 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 21.09 | -30.77 – 19.95 |
| Annual precipitation | 23 – 2414.06 | 25.7 – 1940.66 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 34.06 – 180.92 | 38.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 4.14 – 43.99 | 5.45 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 9.45 – 48.68 | 12.57 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 2.3 – 36.38 | 3.48 – 32.38 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.21 – 4.43 | 0.4 – 3.48 |
| pH | — | 5.7 – 8.38 | 6.1 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 12.2 – 70.25 | 16.7 – 60.35 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 0.32 – 59.18 | 1 – 43.25 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
