| Precipitation seasonality | 20.36 – 116.32 | 31.94 – 110.54 |
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 | 13.39 – 39 | 18.2 – 25.1 |
| Clay | % | 24.9 – 36.66 | 31.7 – 33.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.59 – 12.6 | 8.4 – 9.5 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 2.12 – 4.33 | 3.69 – 3.87 |
| pH | — | 4.91 – 5.6 | 5.3 – 5.6 |
| Sand | % | 32.1 – 46 | 33 – 37.1 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 45.8 – 84.46 | 53.5 – 63.3 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
