Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	6.85 – 29.57	8.59 – 28.91
Temperature of the warmest month	21.31 – 45.19	23.61 – 44.53
Temperature of the coldest month	-11.01 – 19.79	-8.49 – 18.89
Annual precipitation	1.24 – 3643.82	1.72 – 1926.5
Precipitation seasonality	13.72 – 197.44	17.92 – 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	13 – 21.82	15.2 – 19.5
Clay	%	19.18 – 33.1	21.7 – 25.5
Coarse fragments	%	16.2 – 31.3	19.1 – 25.9
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.61 – 2.3	0.8 – 1.66
