Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -7.63 – 29.17 | -5.59 – 28.63 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 9.41 – 40.85 | 10.31 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -25.85 – 25.17 | -24.47 – 24.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 5806.72 | 64.48 – 5214.22 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 11.16 – 180.92 | 13.9 – 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 | 21.7 – 26.3 | 21.9 – 24.3 |
| Clay | % | 34.3 – 38 | 36.1 – 37.1 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 4.5 – 7 | 4.6 – 6.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.25 – 3.54 | 2.4 – 3.5 |
| pH | — | 5.4 – 5.9 | 5.5 – 5.8 |
| Sand | % | 34 – 38.9 | 34.1 – 37.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 30.7 – 52.2 | 33.9 – 49.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
