Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 28.39 | -9.61 – 27.59 |
| 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 | 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 | 12.8 – 22.6 | 15.6 – 19.4 |
| Clay | % | 16.1 – 35.8 | 24.5 – 29.8 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 5.2 – 12 | 6.7 – 10.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.17 – 4.08 | 1.31 – 1.9 |
| pH | — | 5 – 6.7 | 5.5 – 6 |
| Sand | % | 37.6 – 58.9 | 43.5 – 51.3 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 17.7 – 48.2 | 21.7 – 36.4 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
