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	7.36 – 19.36	10.88 – 17.35
Clay	%	6.54 – 33.93	15.82 – 21.4
Coarse fragments	%	0.1 – 6.29	0.3 – 1.3
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.9 – 11.79	1.67 – 2.96
