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 – 5884.7 | 157.16 – 4805.3 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 7.1 – 141.08 | 7.64 – 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 | 9.88 – 23.83 | 11.7 – 18.5 |
| Clay | % | 18.09 – 33.59 | 21.5 – 29.15 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.2 – 12.15 | 6.35 – 9.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.43 – 1.66 | 0.54 – 1.38 |
| pH | — | 5.5 – 6.61 | 6 – 6.35 |
| Sand | % | 44.12 – 69.82 | 52 – 62.7 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 6.7 – 29.3 | 9.2 – 21.9 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
