Table 2.

Monthly and summer (June-August) mean daily air temperature, precipitation sum and mean soil water content during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons recorded within the study area. Long-term mean values (LTM, 1911 - 2006) of air temperature and precipitation were available from a nearby meteorological station (Oetz, 5 km from the study area). Mean values ± standard deviation (SD) are shown
