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	6.62 – 34.02	10.75 – 20.48
Clay	%	13.28 – 39.85	18.93 – 29.65
Coarse fragments	%	3.42 – 27.88	7.33 – 18.43
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.38 – 2.43	0.61 – 1.28
