Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -13.27 – 30.73 | -9.61 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 7.23 – 44.05 | 9.57 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -31.61 – 22.65 | -30.77 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 3.7 – 3889.76 | 4.66 – 3365.12 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 33.4 – 197.44 | 38.5 – 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 | 5.53 – 43.99 | 6.4 – 37.45 |
| Clay | % | 10.33 – 48.68 | 12.57 – 40.55 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.74 – 36 | 3.1 – 32.95 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.32 – 11.57 | 0.4 – 5.04 |
| pH | — | 5 – 8.4 | 5.2 – 8.3 |
| Sand | % | 18.34 – 80 | 27.45 – 72.55 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 1.8 – 59.18 | 2.9 – 46.2 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
