Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	15.31 – 30.45	16.75 – 29.73
Temperature of the warmest month	22.91 – 43.85	25.01 – 41.99
Temperature of the coldest month	3.19 – 22.87	3.43 – 22.39
Annual precipitation	8.48 – 3643.82	13.28 – 2192.5
Precipitation seasonality	22.7 – 197.44	27.5 – 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	6.16 – 13.71	7.1 – 10.1
Clay	%	12.33 – 23.76	16.2 – 22.2
Coarse fragments	%	4.1 – 33.29	5.5 – 10.7
Total nitrogen	g/kg	0.3 – 0.72	0.34 – 0.4
