Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	-2.57 – 29.57	0.73 – 28.91
Temperature of the warmest month	17.53 – 45.51	20.23 – 45.27
Temperature of the coldest month	-22.23 – 20.51	-19.89 – 17.33
Annual precipitation	1.24 – 1470.62	1.72 – 1294.58
Precipitation seasonality	48.38 – 142.96	51.38 – 128.36

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	12.01 – 20.53	15.1 – 18.85
Clay	%	16.07 – 33.1	21.7 – 26.05
