Climatic data for the three study sites - low, mid and high altitude. “T _{a
v
e}” is average monthly temperature per year, “M _{i
n
d}” is the monthly moisture index, measured as monthly precipitation (P) minus monthly potential evapotranspiration (ETP), i.e. P - ETP and “Precipitation” indicates the yearly sum of the mean monthly precipitation.
