Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	11.43 – 30.73	15.75 – 29.73
Temperature of the warmest month	22.91 – 44.91	25.01 – 43.95
Temperature of the coldest month	-8.93 – 22.65	-2.87 – 21.57
Annual precipitation	1.24 – 3643.82	1.72 – 1926.5
Precipitation seasonality	35.78 – 197.44	41.9 – 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	6.32 – 19.46	8.8 – 14.3
Clay	%	13.74 – 27.12	16.7 – 23.7
