Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -0.23 – 29.91 | 8.83 – 29.61 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 12.45 – 44.05 | 18.63 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -18.69 – 22.65 | -7.05 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 34.84 – 3889.76 | 43.3 – 3365.12 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 22.7 – 180.92 | 27.5 – 165.44 |
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 | 21.14 – 26.48 | 21.2 – 23.3 |
| Clay | % | 26.9 – 34.9 | 28.4 – 32.73 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.91 – 15.34 | 9.38 – 12.6 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.07 – 1.56 | 1.19 – 1.39 |
| pH | — | 6.6 – 7.16 | 6.7 – 7 |
| Sand | % | 42.56 – 49.31 | 44.48 – 47.88 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 12.54 – 20.1 | 13.43 – 17.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
