Table 1 Mean climatic parameters for each Biodiversity Exploratory region, as measured directly on the monocultural Fagus sylvatica plots from 2009 to 2016

From: Fagus sylvatica seedlings show provenance differentiation rather than adaptation to soil in a transplant experiment

  1. Annual values for precipitation and temperature (Annual P, Annual T) express whole-year average across plots, while seasonal values (Summer P and Summer T) are June–August averages. Soil moisture 10 cm and Soil moisture 20 cm are June to August mean percentages of volumetric water content at the specified depth. The temperature and precipitation conditions for the location of the common garden experiment (Bern, CG) are also shown
