Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 28.07 | 8.61 – 27.59 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 40.85 | 17.61 – 39.89 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 25.17 | -7.05 – 24.51 |
| Annual precipitation | 708.88 – 5802.76 | 832.9 – 4182.52 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 24.02 – 140.54 | 24.98 – 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 | 9.1 – 43.99 | 11.07 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 15.02 – 46.13 | 18.65 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.6 – 30.33 | 5.4 – 25.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.86 – 19 | 0.95 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 4.6 – 7.5 | 4.8 – 7.3 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 51.64 | 21.1 – 45.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 7.2 – 132.1 | 8.85 – 59.88 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
