Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -2.57 – 30.73 | 0.73 – 29.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 44.05 | 20.23 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -22.23 – 22.09 | -19.89 – 21.37 |
| Annual precipitation | 38.14 – 1596.62 | 43.3 – 1037.24 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 46.86 – 141.08 | 62.62 – 118.52 |
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 | 8.45 – 41.99 | 11.6 – 35.67 |
| Clay | % | 11.31 – 44.42 | 12.57 – 38.42 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3 – 35.72 | 5.35 – 32.95 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.44 – 5.76 | 0.59 – 2.52 |
| pH | — | 5.8 – 8.3 | 6.67 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 21.14 – 60.34 | 27.5 – 57.67 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 1.31 – 47.09 | 2.9 – 25.6 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
