Precipitation seasonality	8.76 – 112.34	10.76 – 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	4.84 – 16.96	6.35 – 11.88
Clay	%	2.4 – 27.4	6 – 18.55
Coarse fragments	%	0.2 – 4.5	0.3 – 1.8
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.69 – 11.05	1.06 – 4.37
pH	—	4 – 6.5	4.9 – 5.3
