Documented climate envelope
| Variable | Observed range | Central range |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mean temperature | -16.29 – 12.35 | -14.07 – 8.39 |
| Temperature of the warmest month | 10.15 – 34.79 | 10.63 – 31.61 |
| Temperature of the coldest month | -43.61 – -0.79 | -42.05 – -1.51 |

| Precipitation seasonality | 17.68 – 117.2 | 23.02 – 116.12 |
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 | 24.47 – 70.45 | 36.42 – 49.45 |
| Clay | % | 12.9 – 24 | 17.9 – 22.23 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 1.3 – 19.21 | 7.3 – 13 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 3.54 – 13.53 | 6.52 – 11.25 |
| pH | — | 5 – 6.6 | 5.6 – 6.2 |
| Sand | % | 20.07 – 53.03 | 30.1 – 44.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 53.6 – 339.1 | 140.05 – 267.75 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
