Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -2.57 – 30.73 | 0.73 – 29.65 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 44.05 | 20.23 – 43.45 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -22.23 – 22.65 | -19.89 – 21.57 |
| Annual precipitation | 8.48 – 2104.64 | 13.28 – 1636.64 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 35.78 – 197.44 | 41.9 – 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 | 9.18 – 19.5 | 16.2 – 18.7 |
| Clay | % | 19.12 – 31.26 | 23.4 – 26.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 7.9 – 19.12 | 11.2 – 14 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.67 – 1.32 | 0.7 – 0.96 |
| pH | — | 7.9 – 8.04 | 8 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 36.84 – 50.52 | 41.3 – 42.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.72 – 7.66 | 3.6 – 4.5 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
