| Precipitation seasonality | 6.8 – 95.42 | 7.22 – 90.02 |
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 | 14.27 – 48.25 | 18.3 – 24.3 |
| Clay | % | 11.24 – 36.33 | 14.9 – 23.6 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 3.17 – 21.96 | 8.75 – 17.2 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 1.66 – 6.1 | 2.22 – 3.36 |
| pH | — | 4 – 8 | — – — |
| Sand | % | 22.2 – 54.8 | 31.65 – 45.85 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 25.71 – 87.39 | 29.73 – 48.08 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
