Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	21.17 – 29.91	21.71 – 29.61
Temperature of the warmest month	27.03 – 43.85	27.69 – 41.99
Temperature of the coldest month	6.59 – 22.87	8.03 – 22.39
Annual precipitation	8.48 – 3643.82	13.28 – 2783.44
Precipitation seasonality	22.7 – 197.44	27.5 – 184.48

These values describe the documented climate envelope of the taxon. They are not, by themselves, a local recommendation.

Variable	Unit	Observed range	Central range
Cation exchange capacity (CEC)	cmol(+)/kg	6.1 – 15.4	7.5 – 12.6
Clay	%	14.5 – 28	20.7 – 25.8
Coarse fragments	%	3.2 – 19.5	8.4 – 15.6
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.31 – 2.09	0.59 – 1
pH	—	5.6 – 6.7	5.7 – 6.5
Sand	%	40.3 – 77.3	44.1 – 58.6
Soil organic carbon	g/kg	3.6 – 24.3	7.9 – 13.3

These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
