Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -2.57 – 30.45 | 0.73 – 29.73 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 17.53 – 44.91 | 20.23 – 43.95 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -22.23 – 22.87 | -19.89 – 22.39 |
| Annual precipitation | 1.24 – 3643.82 | 1.72 – 1926.5 |
| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 41.44 – 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 | 12.8 – 17.55 | 13.07 – 16.8 |
| Clay | % | 5.54 – 33.1 | 7.22 – 24.82 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 11.45 – 36.42 | 19.7 – 31.3 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.56 – 3.49 | 0.61 – 2.25 |
| pH | — | 7.9 – 8.99 | 7.9 – 8.2 |
| Sand | % | 27.5 – 85.3 | 41.98 – 80.8 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 2.36 – 12.48 | 3.6 – 10.12 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
