| Precipitation seasonality | 17.68 – 197.44 | 23.02 – 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 | 11.25 – 21.2 | 14.78 – 19.32 |
| Clay | % | 16 – 28.12 | 21.05 – 25.4 |
| Coarse fragments | % | 12.15 – 31.3 | 16.73 – 24.23 |
| Total nitrogen | g/kg | 0.61 – 2.65 | 0.87 – 1.29 |
| pH | — | 6.5 – 8.5 | 7 – 8 |
| Sand | % | 37.3 – 53.5 | 42.5 – 47.9 |
| Soil organic carbon | g/kg | 1.93 – 12.8 | 3 – 5.8 |
These soil preferences should be compared with the site profile and the confidence of the local data.
