Precipitation seasonality	17.68 – 142.96	23.02 – 128.36

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	17.9 – 22.72	18.5 – 20.6
Clay	%	22.5 – 26.84	23.4 – 24.2
Coarse fragments	%	22.86 – 29	22.9 – 28.6
Total nitrogen	g/kg	2.06 – 2.69	2.24 – 2.63
