| Precipitation seasonality | 27.28 – 197.44 | 41.44 – 184.48 |
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 | 11.2 – 17.7 | 12.3 – 15.4 |
| Clay | % | 6.5 – 21.57 | 7.4 – 15 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 10.6 – 25.9 | 10.6 – 16.9 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.5 – 1.31 | 0.53 – 0.64 |
| pH | — | 6.5 – 8.5 | 7 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 49.75 – 85.25 | 70.95 – 78.6 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 3.65 – 5.9 | 4 – 4.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
