Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 28.39 | -9.61 – 28.25 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 43.39 | 9.57 – 41.71 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 25.65 | -30.77 – 25.65 |
| Annual precipitation | 134.24 – 6553.5 | 157.16 – 6553.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 10.98 – 141.08 | 13.9 – 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 | 7.8 – 25.43 | 10.9 – 17.93 |
| Clay | % | 16.54 – 36.3 | 21.6 – 29.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4 – 14.66 | 6 – 9.53 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.44 – 2.18 | 0.79 – 1.44 |
| pH | — | 5.4 – 6.9 | 5.8 – 6.33 |
| Sand | % | 41.6 – 70.86 | 49.1 – 61.83 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.4 – 32.9 | 12 – 22.7 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
