Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.99 – 29.91 | 8.61 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 11.37 – 43.85 | 17.61 – 41.99 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 25.31 | -7.05 – 25.19 |
| Annual precipitation | 9.08 – 5802.76 | 13.28 – 4182.52 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 30.22 – 197.44 | 33.52 – 184.48 |
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 | 4.61 – 43.99 | 6 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 10.33 – 45.83 | 14.18 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 0.81 – 33.12 | 1.8 – 25.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 19 | 0.4 – 7.65 |
| pH | — | 4.7 – 8.3 | 4.78 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 15.2 – 80 | 21.1 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.8 – 87.65 | 3.2 – 65.9 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
